The Clatsop County lead committee is the Multi-Agency Coordinating or MAC group. It was created to provide strategic coordination in Clatsop County to track outcomes in the executive order.
The geographic areas included in the emergency correspond with federally designated continuums of care. A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a regional or local planning body that coordinates housing and services funding for families and individuals experiencing homelessness. Please find a map of the continuums of care here.
In the 2023 legislative session, the Governor requested the legislature to approve a $130 million early investment package as soon as possible to achieve the stated goals:
- Prevent 8,750 households from becoming homeless statewide
- Add 600 low-barrier shelter beds in emergency areas
- Rehouse at least 1,200 unsheltered households in emergency areas
A local Clatsop County Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) Group has been created for interagency management, planning, coordination, and operational leadership to provide strategic coordination, identify resources and manage goals.
