[cid:image003.png at 01DA2CEE.B16DE9A0]<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter>Lane County Shelter Finder website is now live

The Shelter Finder can be found via www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter> or www.lanecountyor.gov/housinghelp<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/housinghelp>.

This website is intended to help those in our community seeking shelter either for themselves, or for someone else, know what shelters have beds available on a given night and what criteria there are for accessing those shelters.

Those accessing the site can filter through the shelters based on unique needs and be pointed in the direction of those shelters that best meet those needs.

Additionally, by clicking on the bed icons located on the embedded map, site visitors can see information about the shelters including pictures, intake information, what they can expect when accessing and other important details.

Please note that we do not currently have all shelters in Lane County participating on the page, but hope to have them added soon. We have asked participating shelters to update their available bed information a minimum of once a day but more frequently if they are able. The date and time of last update is located next to each shelter bed inventory.
