(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek is extending the homelessness emergency she declared when she took office in 2023. Her office says the action resulted in more than 62-hundred new and maintained shelter beds, the rehousing of over 55-hundred Oregonians, and prevented almost 26-thousand households from becoming homeless. Under the extension, Kotek says more will be done to serve people connected with the justice system, expand behavioral health capacity and improve coordination between housing and health systems.
