are not-for profit and governmental organizations throughout
Oregon that provide emergency shelter. Services offered by some
shelters are sometimes very basic. Other shelters provide several
services: counseling, help in finding employment, medical care,
and other assistance. Because there are different needs for
the homeless throughout the state, communities approach the
problem in various ways. Some emphasize providing shelters,
some issue vouchers to pay for persons to stay in inexpensive
hotels, and some provide a combinaton of resources. Contact
the agency listed above for information about funds available
in the community for emergency shelter. |
