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.
