Tracking Progress
Data Dashboard
The Homeless Services Department data dashboard is a monthly view of data that helps us track our progress. It shows how many people are experiencing homelessness, and it provides data on how many people are being served with housing, shelter, support services and eviction prevention.

We Can Prevent & End Homelessness
Making Homelessness a Rare & Brief Experience
The Homeless Services Department works to address the homelessness crisis in Multnomah County. We work with community-based organizations and government agencies to provide coordinated, participant-driven and equity-based services for those experiencing at risk of homelessness.
We recognize the co-occurring crises that people living unhoused face, including living with medical conditions and disabilities, behavioral health issues and substance use disorders. That is why we engage each person experiencing homelessness using a multi-faceted and holistic approach.
