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.
