New Newsletter to help follow Lane County’s effort to reduce houselessness

Posted on November 27, 2023 by Gary Haliski

ABOUT ALL IN LANE COUNTY

The ALL IN Lane County effort is the first multi-agency, county-wide effort
aimed at reducing houselessness with an emergency focus. This work is
made possible through Governor Kotek’s emergency orders on homelessness
and subsequent funding through HB 5019. The ALL IN Lane County MultiAgency Coordination (MAC) Group was created from representation from
over 15 organizations for interagency management, planning, coordination,
and operational leadership to provide strategic coordination, identify
resources and manage goals.

Here is a link to the first All In Lane County newsletter.
