Personalized help for those experiencing a housing crisis

Clackamas County Coordinated Housing Access is the starting point for housing and support services.

Free services that may be available:

  • Emergency, transitional and permanent housing referrals 
  • Problem-solving and resources to prevent loss of housing 

Filling out this form helps us get the information we need to help you. It is not mandatory. If you prefer to talk to someone, you can also call 503-655-8575 and leave a message. 

How does Coordinated Housing Access Work?

  1. Call Coordinated Housing Access at 503-655-8575 and leave a message or fill out the online form. Due to the very high call volume, our response time is longer than normal. 
  2. Staff will call or text you as soon as possible to set up a phone screening. At times, it could take up to 3 weeks to receive a call back.
  3. During the phone screening, you will be asked some basic questions regarding your household and current housing situation. The goal of this screening is to help you problem solve, and possible get you matched with housing programs that could best meet your needs. Some of the housing programs we screen for have waitlists.
  4. Keep us updated if your contact/household information changes.
  5. You will be contacted by a program when there is an opening.
