[cid:image026.png at 01DAC710.55914980]<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/es/alimentos/Pages/ebt-de-verano.aspx>[cid:image027.png at 01DAC710.55914980]<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx>SUMMER EBT IS ON THE WAY

The monthly benefit for each eligible child is $40, or a summer total of $120.

Children are eligible if:

  *   Their household already participates in SNAP, TANF or OHP
  *   They go to a school that offers the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP) and their household meets the income requirements for free or reduced-price meals
  *   They attend a school that offers the NSLP or SBP and is enrolled in migrant programs, experiencing homelessness, participating in Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, or attending Head Start

About 70% of children will have streamlined access to Summer EBT, but around 30% will need to apply. Summer EBT payments should begin in June of this year.

Check out the ODHS Summer EBT website in Spanish<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/es/alimentos/Pages/ebt-de-verano.aspx> and Summer EBT website in English<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx> for more information on the Summer EBT program. See attached EBT Article for more new information.

The Shelter Finder can be found via the Lane County Shelter Finder website<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter> or Lane County Housing Help website<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.
