Kotek Signs Homelessness Executive Orders

(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has signed two executive orders to extend work on homelessness. Kotek says she exceeded the goals she set last year to reduce homelessness in the state. Over a thousand new shelter beds were created, nearly 13-hundred homeless households were placed into permanent housing, and over 88-hundred households were kept from becoming homeless. One executive order adds capacity to the state's shelter system. The other order continues the state's Interagency Council on Homelessness which advises the Governor on policy.
