Building Housing Stability in a Time of Crisis 

The strains of Oregon’s housing plight on people are impossible to ignore. Fires and the pandemic accelerated long-building trends, and today far too many Oregonians live unsheltered or on the brink of homelessness. In the past year, OCF awarded grants to 152 organizations totaling $71.6 million to address housing supply, rising rents, and a lack of shelter space and public services that contribute to Oregon's disproportionately large population of homeless people. Join us to recognize successes, even as we know there is much more to do.
