Homeless Service Provider Rules

(Salem, OR) -- New federal rules for homeless services are in conflict with Oregon rules and could put funding at risk. The federal government has changed the Continuum of Care program to require permanent housing projects to include behavioral health treatment. Oregon's program matches the previous federal model called "Housing First." which aims to quickly get people into housing, even if they aren't sober and don't have a job. The federal money also includes many new eligibility requirements.
