ODE recently published a feature layer on ArcGIS that maps all known shelter locations across the state. The layer includes houseless shelters, youth shelters, day shelters, transitional housing facilities, domestic violence shelters who publicize their addresses*,
and safe sleep/park sites. Shelter locations are plotted on the feature layer; when you click on a point, information for that shelter including contact, population served, and other relevant info is displayed. The goal of this project was to create a map
of shelters organized by school districts in order to help districts better serve students and families navigating housing instability, but it also has a range of other potential applications and benefits.</div>

The layer is available for public use on ArcGIS online at the following link: <a href="https://geo.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8ba163d740e64f80a49629f8f2b396bf" id="LPlnk972151">

We are sharing this information across agencies so that folks can utilize this layer to create maps that suit any needs of various agencies in supporting people navigating housing instability. The feature layer will be updated periodically. Our hope is that
others will find this feature layer helpful in supporting Oregon's ongoing housing and shelter initiatives.</div>
