Homelessness directly impacts the people experiencing it and the communities that are working to positively address the challenge. The City of Eugene and Lane County governments are working collectively to create systematic change and reduce homelessness through programmatic interventions and increased investment in shelter and housing.
In December 2018, Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) released its final shelter feasibility study and homeless services system analysis for Lane County. The City of Eugene and Lane County contracted with TAC to provide information about our system-wide needs and gaps, as well as recommendations to make our system more effective at providing pathways out of homelessness. The City of Eugene and Lane County have been partnering to implement recommendations included in this report.
