Air Conditioner and Air Filter Program

To date, there is no committed funding for this emergency response program. If that status holds, the program will no longer be available as of June 30, 2025.

Oregon Health Authority (OHA) distributed all air conditioners (AC) and air filters purchased with previous funding. The program is unable to accept new requests for equipment.


Other Ways to Stay Cool or Get an AC or Air Filter

Call 211 to find cooling centers

During heat waves, many communities open cooling centers. You can learn where they are by calling 2-1-1 or 1-866-698-6155 or visiting 211info.org.

AC and air filter programs for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members

Option 1: Health-related social needs (HRSN) benefits

OHP members facing certain life big changes can request an AC or air filter through HRSN home changes for health.

Option 2: CCOs

OHP members can call their CCO and ask about flexible services for ACs and air filters. CCOs may have a limited supply. They'll focus on people most at risk. 

City and county programs

Some cities and counties offer ACs but supply is limited. Check with your city or county to see if they have any programs.
