SCCO General Meeting – November 7, 7 PM

Posted on November 5, 2024 by Gary Haliski

The next meeting of the Santa Clara Community Organization will be this Thursday.

General Meeting
Thursday, November 7
7 PM
3280 River Road (Messiah Lutheran Church)

Main Topic: An update on Lane County’s Housing progress presented by Kate Budd, the Human Services Division Manager for Lane County.

In 2023, Lane County received $15 million from the State of Oregon to mitigate our homelessness crisis. That money was used to prevent 795 households from becoming homeless, to rehouse 220 unsheltered households into permanent housing, and to create or improve 304 emergency shelter beds.

Now a second round of funding is being used to sustain these efforts and continue to build on the successes. Hear the details on this and the work happening to prevent homelessness, provide shelter, and transition households to permanent housing. There will be time for Q&A.

Attend in person or watch via video.

LTD Board to hear recommended changes on October 16th

Posted on October 12, 2024 by Gary Haliski

From LTD:

Over the last year, you provided an essential service to your community by participating in Lane Transit District’s System Review. Your work included completing a comprehensive survey that asked participants to prioritize service improvements, reviewed recommendations, or attended workshops and presentations hosted by LTD and consultants from Nelson-Nygaard.

LTD is so grateful for your time and effort!

The overwhelming majority of the 3,000+ survey responses requested more frequency and 86% of survey respondents were supportive of the recommendations. The short- and long-term service recommendations will increase frequency on nearly all metro and rural routes and will provide more consistent service on major corridors. These changes mean LTD and our partners will continue to provide effective and efficient service to the communities we serve.

LTD’s Board of Directors will meet on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, to hear the service recommendations and vote on their approval. The recommended changes and materials for the Board packet can be found on LTD’s Event Calendar. To provide comments, you can attend the Board meeting in person, by Zoom (link on event calendar), or in writing by emailing Clerk@LTD.org.
