Subject: Self Sufficiency Budget and Legislative Ideas Discussion for 2027-2029
When: Friday, March 20, 2026 10:05 AM-11:55 AM.
Where:

As ODHS continues to seek feedback for the Agency Request Budget (ARB), Self-Sufficiency Programs wants to hear directly from you.

The Agency Request Budget (ARB) is how the Oregon Department of Human Services plans and asks for funding for the next two-year budget cycle. The agency looks at service needs, program costs, and future demand to decide what resources are needed to continue serving people across Oregon. That proposal goes to the Governor and Legislature, who review it and decide the final budget.

You work closely with the people and communities we serve every day. You see how policy and budget decisions affect services. Your experience and perspective are important as we plan for the future.

During these sessions, we will:

  *   Share information about the current budget outlook
  *   Talk about possible impacts to programs and operations
  *   Identify risks, service gaps, and operational challenges
  *   Discuss ideas for solutions, collaboration, and communication

Please join us virtually on Friday, March 20, 2026, 10:00AM - 12:00 PM.
