Welcome
Welcome to the Behavioral Health Housing and Licensed Residential Capacity Investments Dashboard. This resource details capacity increases achieved through Oregon legislative action. Clicking through these various tabs enables you to learn where Oregon's resources are used, where funds come from, and how much behavioral health capacity increases throughout the state from these dedicated funding sources.
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Mission: Ensuring all people and communities can achieve optimum physical, mental, and social well-being through partnerships, prevention, and access to quality, affordable health care.
OHA's Behavioral Health Division values equitable access to behavioral health housing and licensed residential treatment. These are critical services to support stability and elements of overall health and quality of life. OHA prioritized the expansion of behavioral health care through significant investments. This dashboard provides public transparency into these investments and the anticipated impact on communities throughout Oregon.
This dashboard contains information on:
- Various funding sources and amounts
- Where funds have been invested
- Types of housing and residential treatment being developed
- Anticipated timeframe and location of new capacity
Project types include the purchase of property and/or buildings, renovation, and new construction. Projects involving new construction typically require two (2) or more years prior to being ready for occupancy. The Five Year Goal represents calendar years 2024 - 2029 (CY 24 - CY 29).

OHA welcomes all data consumers. This dashboard will be made available in an accessible alternative format upon request. You can get this document in other languages, large print, braille or a format you prefer free of charge. Please send requests or questions to OHA.BHITeam@oha.oregon.gov.
This dashboard uses data from grant agreements, contractual documents, and provider reports. The data in this dashboard is continually evolving as project plans are developed and finalized and is subject to change. The dashboard will be updated monthly to reflect the progression of these projects.

OHA's strategic goal is to eliminate health inequities in Oregon by 2030. The following is OHA's definition of health equity:
“Oregon will have established a health system that creates health equity when all people can reach their full health potential and well-being and are not disadvantaged by their race, ethnicity, language, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, intersections among these communities or identities, or other socially determined circumstances."
Achieving health equity requires the ongoing collaboration of all regions and sectors of the state, including tribal governments, to address:
- The equitable distribution or redistribution of resources and power; and
- Recognizing, reconciling and rectifying historical and contemporary injustices.
The Behavioral Health Division is committed to addressing these disparities by:
- Intentional and ongoing engagement with communities most impacted by health inequities.
- Increasing statewide behavioral health housing capacity that aims to meet the unique and unmet needs of minoritized cultural communities.
- Addressing issues within the current system for disbursing funding by prioritizing smaller, culturally, and linguistically diverse organizations when funding opportunities are available.
- Collaboration with community partners to broaden our awareness and strengthen our ability to address health injustices throughout the state.
OHA's initiatives will be informed by and aligned with these priorities, ensuring that we effectively bridge gaps in service provision and promote equitable access to behavioral health housing services. OHA is committed to a holistic approach that not only expands capacity but also enhances the quality of care for all Oregonians, particularly those from communities most impacted by health inequities.
HB 5024 (2021): $130 million ($65 million from the General Fund and $65 million from American Rescue Plan Act funding) appropriated to the Oregon Health Authority for the expansion of community-based licensed residential facilities and homes and supportive housing settings for individuals with a Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) requiring a higher level of care.
HB 5202 (2021): $100 million from the General Fund appropriated to the Oregon Health Authority and granted to Community Mental Health Programs (CMHPs) to increase behavioral health housing capacity and treatment options. To increase accessibility and put greater power in the hands of communities designing, providing, and consuming services, these funds were intentionally distributed in a manner designed to be low-barrier. Each county was awarded an amount determined by a funding formula based on demographic information produced by the Association of Oregon Community Mental Health Programs (AOCMHP).

Residential Treatment Facility (RTF): Provide psychiatric treatment, care and services in a home-like environment for 6-16 adults with mental health conditions. Program Administrator is responsible for operations and maintenance and program staff are onsite and awake 24/7 in numbers sufficient to meet the needs of the residents.

Trauma System Areas: Trauma system areas are based on patient referral patterns, resources, and geography and are defined by administrative rule (OAR 333-200-0040). Each area has an Area Trauma Advisory Board which is responsible for acting as a liaison between providers and the public as well as participating in trauma system area planning.
Baseline capacity: Behavioral Health bed capacity through March 1, 2024. These numbers help us understand Oregon's behavioral health capacity prior to the beginning of grant funding via Behavioral Health Investments. Data source: OHA's Licensing & Certification facility type data through March 2024.
Confirmed capacity: The number of beds currently available that a facility has created using awarded funds. These beds are available as of December 31. Data source: Behavioral Health Investments Capacity Data.
In development: The number of beds in development that a facility creates using awarded funds. These beds are not yet available but will be available in the future (occupancy date on or after January 1). Data source: Behavioral Health Investments Capacity Data.
Remaining to 5 Year Goal: The number of beds remaining to meet the 2029 goal. These goals were established by Public Consulting Group, LLC in the Oregon Health Authority Behavioral Health Residential + Facility Study June 2024 Final Report.
Are you new to viewing Power BI Reports? Everything is new to everyone at some point; you're definitely in the right place!
Navigation
As with most things, there's more than one way to get anywhere. To view a specific page in the report, you can do one of two things: select from the page navigation bar on the bottom, or choose a page header from the bars at the top (but stay underneath the web browser menu bar – that's too high up for navigating within this report).
Tip: “Hovering" is a good thing!
While exploring the visuals on a page, pay attention as you hold your mouse over certain areas. You'll often see smaller windows of information temporarily come into view. Those are called “tooltips" and provide deeper levels of details. For instance, on the Oregon Maps page of this report, the tooltips from the map image will tell you what county you're exploring, the added bed/unit capacity funded by the current grants, and the total grant funds currently awarded.
You can also hover over a visual to find a grouping, or menu, of additional actions you can perform, which typically show up in either top or bottom right corners of a visual. In the image shown below, you see pin, copy, filter, display the visual at full size and an ellipsis (…). Clicking on the ellipsis in a visual will allow you to see more options.

Explore
At the top of each page is a group of “slicers". A slicer is simply another way to filter the page to see the data you're most interested in exploring. If you find you sliced the data too far, look for the blue funnel. That's the “Clear all filters" helper button. Clicking it will return everything on the page back to its original level of data.
This covers all the basics you need to know to get started. Enjoy exploring!
