(Salem, OR) -- Funding has been approved to support Oregon's Homelessness State of Emergency. Governor Tina Kotek set a goal of preventing nine-thousand people from becoming homeless, rehousing 12-hundred people and creating 600 new shelter beds. Six of seven regional multi-agency coordinating groups developed plans to meet those goals and contracts have been signed allocating the funds. The seventh group will have its contract executed this week after a vote by the Clackamas County Board of Commissioners.
