[Summer EBT logo]<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx>USE SUMMER EBT<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx> BENEFITS BEFORE THEY EXPIRE!
On Oct. 1, 2024, the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) sent emails and texts to remind families with $10 or more left on their Summer EBT cards to use their benefits before they expire. About 33,500 households received this reminder.
Summer EBT benefits are available on Summer EBT cards for 122 days (about four months). After that, any unused benefits will be removed from their Summer EBT card.

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.
