Deschutes County Resources

We help connect older adults and their loved ones to information and services that support their changing needs as they age.

Housing Works is the local housing authority for Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. We provide affordable housing, rental assistance and new beginnings for low-and moderate-income Central Oregonians. We provide homes for people throughout Central Oregon. We offer quality, well-designed and professionally managed properties serving workforce, seniors, the disabled, veterans and farm workers. Our help with housing includes administering HUD Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program in Central Oregon and supporting people who wish to move beyond renting to home ownership. We also provide programs that bring other essentials savings accounts, deposit assistance, credit-building loans, and home ownership planning within reach of anyone motivated to make changes for the better.

Neighborhood Impact helps Central Oregonians with food assistance, housing help, and pre-kindergarten education.

For more than 52 years, the Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon has worked to empower people of diverse abilities. We believe everyone has the fundamental right to live and work in supportive and inclusive communities. Alongside a broad array of community partners we propel social change and encourage limitless possibilities.
