(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is making progress keeping people from becoming homeless and getting people off the streets and into housing. Oregon Housing and Community Services reports that since 2023, when Governor Tina Kotek declared a homelessness state of emergency, more than 55-hundred households have been rehoused. Sixty-two-hundred shelter beds were funded or created. Nearly 26-thousand families received assistance that kept them from losing their homes. Kotek says it's progress, but the work is not finished.
