Many have asked how changes at the federal level may affect Oregon. Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) are following the changes and have created webpages for the public that will show any important changes.

[cid:image032.png at 01DB9D81.ACB70860]<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter>Lane County Shelter Finder SITE is now live

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.
