Redesign project
The Oregon State Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 5006 in June 2025. The bill told the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to develop a new operational plan for SACU. ODHS must present this new plan to the Legislature by Sep. 30, 2026. The plan will have phases. The first phase must start by July 1, 2027.
The Legislature fully funded SACU for the 2025–27 biennium. They also directed SACU to:
- Follow all federal rules for home- and community-based services,
- Offer short-term crisis care to help individuals stabilize, and then
- Support them to move back to their communities, ready to live the lives they want.
- Work with the community to make the redesign plan.
The SACU Redesign Project is working to do this. We will update the community about our progress. We will give people ways to get involved. We will support SACU residents and staff through this process. Our mission continues to be the safety, health and well-being of all at SACU.
We will use this web page to keep the community updated. We will share resources here. If you have questions, email
odds.questions@odhs.oregon.gov.
Listening sessions October 2025
SACU is hosting listening sessions in October. We want to hear from you, so our work is shaped by your experiences and needs.
We invite individuals served by SACU, their families and guardians, self-advocates from the I/DD community and members of the larger community to come. We’ll host sessions for I/DD providers and case management entities in the near future.
