| Welcome to OHCS |

As the agency’s Director, I would like to “welcome” you to our website.
Our mission is to “provide leadership that enables Oregonians to gain housing, become self-sufficient and achieve prosperity.” Our vision is that all Oregonians have housing that meets their needs. The agency's staff are committed to developing and implementing a permanent supportive housing model for people experiencing homelessess and working to recommend and implement policies or system changes that effectively reduce hunger and homelessness in Oregon. OHCS' other goals include: developing and implementing a comprehensive housing preservation strategy, working to address manufactured dwelling park closures, creating opportunities for partners to provide input and maintaining and implementing the long-term financial sustainability for the agency. The department is striving to develop budget-supported training programs that enable our employees to acheive their professional potential and continue to deliver high-quality service.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in accomplishing our goals and objectives. Should you have ideas or suggestions on how we could accomplish our mission more effectively, please do not hesitate to contact us (E-mail).
I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce the agency's Deputy Director, Rick Crager.

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS). OHCS is unique in that we deliver services through a network of community-based partners. The strength of our partners is a key to our success. We must encourage innovation, look for ways to continually improve operations and provide a high level of customer service to our partners. This is critical to ensuring that limited resources are directed to those most in need so that they can gain housing, become self-sufficient and achieve prosperity.
The Department's motto is "What We Do Matters!" In our efforts to continually improve as an organization your comments are important. Thanks again for your support of our efforts to improve the quality of life in Oregon communities.
