Emergency Shelter Program provides information and referral to emergency shelters in the tri-county area. The program screens homeless families with children seeking emergency shelter and conducts intake for eligible families for the Annie Ross House. Families who have been residents of Clackamas County or need to be located in Clackamas County for specific reasons have priority.
Rent Assistance Program oversees a variety of limited rental assistance funds that are only available to people with eviction notices. Eligibility requirements vary with fund sources, but are limited to low-income families with children, disabled adults, and adults 45+ who are at risk. When funds are available, the program conducts intake appointments and works with landlords to prevent evictions.
The program also provides information concerning the eviction process, regardless of the availability of rent funds.
