Homelessness Emergency Executive Orders

Background on the Governor's Executive Orders

Governor Kotek has signed three executive orders to address the state's housing and homelessness crisis. The executive orders are in alignment with Oregon Housing and Community Services' (OHCS) vision and goals. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (ODEM) is working closely with OHCS to begin planning for the course of action ahead. We know the key to achieving positive outcomes for the people we serve requires strengthening coordination and collaboration with our local partners through the lens of humanity.

We look forward to sharing updates as the work progresses. You can sign up for news updates from OHCS on their website. You can also visit the Governor's website for important announcements.
