Health Housing and Human Services
The Community Homelessness Advisory Board (CHAB) advises the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on the county's homelessness response strategies with input from staff, the Housing Services Advisory Group, and other stakeholders. Recommendations from Members of the CHAB are advisory in nature and will not direct staff or the Board. Rather, their feedback will be considered in department and Board decision making on issues pertaining to homelessness.
The CHAB will meet quarterly by Zoom, on the third Thursdays in April, July, October, and January, for approximately 90 minutes. From time to time, the CHAB may elect to meet more frequently and/or in person, especially for special projects or as needs for increased coordination arise.

For several years, February in the region has been a particularly cold month. Ice, snow and plummeting temperatures make the cold month one that is especially important for which to prepare. Clackamas County is ready with road services, shelter, outreach and health guidance to serve our community in cold weather.

The Clackamas County Stabilization Center will operate 24/7 for residents experiencing crises like panic attacks, hallucinations, or other mental health conditions. Our center will be a comfortable and safe place for community members who need short-term support, coping skills and connections to resources to manage a crisis.
The center will also offer transitional housing for individuals experiencing homelessness, ultimately expanding both the county’s mental health and housing services.
Currently in renovation, the center is expected to open in late 2025.
