Housing Assistance
CARE has a variety of housing assistance programs serving Tillamook County, providing support for people who are homeless or who are struggling to pay their rent and remain housed. A meeting with one of our Housing Case Managers is required to get on the list for our housing programs.
CARE is the access point for Coordinated Entry into the homeless system for Tillamook County
​
Coordinated Entry (CE) is a system that allows for coordinated entry into a local homeless services system, as well as coordinated movement within and ultimately exit from the system. Coordinated Entry increases the efficiency of a homeless assistance system by standardizing access to homeless services and coordinating program referrals.
The Rural Oregon Continuum of Care (ROCC) is committed to sustaining a CE system that will help to advance our goals of helping households quickly access appropriate services to address housing crises, increasing exits to housing, decreasing length of time homeless, and reducing returns to homelessness.
Resources are limited so there is never a guarantee of support. Walk-in appointments are available daily from 9am to 4pm.
