League of Oregon Cities

Benton County, the City of Corvallis, and Community Services Consortium (CSC) are part of a pilot program sponsored by Oregon State House Bill 4123 to support a coordinated response to homelessness.

The three agencies, along with housing and homeless service providers, have been working together since before the pilot program to lay the groundwork for coordinated homeless response.

The pilot program includes funding and resources to support and grow existing homelessness response operations.

What?

Cross-sector efforts including the county, cities, and service providers with the ultimate goal to sustain housing in every community.

Why?

Everyone in Benton County should have the opportunity to live in decent, safe, and affordable housing.

How?
  • Sustainable funding for ongoing operations of the coordinated homelessness response system
  • Increasing or streamlining resources and services to people at risk of or experiencing homelessness
  • Incorporating national best practices for ending homelessness
  • Eliminating racial disparities within the service area
  • Creating pathways to permanent and supportive housing that is affordable to local populations experiencing or at risk of homelessness
