OHRA helps low-income people build better lives through access to social service resources. By helping people move from crisis to stability, OHRA builds more capable individuals, stronger families, and a better community. We achieve this mission through three core programs: OHRA Community Resource Center (OCRC) is the only walk-in resource center serving Jackson County, offering these basic services: • Housing Match helps unhoused people find housing and resources to become stable and housing threatened people to stay housed by providing short-term rent or utilities assistance and other resources. • Job Match gives job search assistance to help people find employment. • Essential Services are resources that enable guests to overcome barriers to moving forward, including but not limited to assistance to purchase critical items such as a birth certificate or Oregon ID; help applying for benefits and navigating systems including e.g. OHP or Social Security; and, access to internet, telephone and U.S. mail. The OHRA Emergency Shelter (OES) is a year-round, non-congregate facility providing emergency housing and meals to vulnerable unhoused people for up to 6-months. During their stay, guests have access to support navigation services where trauma-informed staff work alongside guests to help them develop a housing plan, gain employment, or access services to support long-term health and well-being. The OHRA Laundry and Shower Trailer (OLST) where unhoused people can access basic hygiene services. OHRA’s staff of Resource Navigators are the heart of every program offered at the Center, placing the guest at the center of our service, and working alongside them with a trauma-informed approach. By building relationships rooted in trust, OHRA Resource Navigators help identify and meet the most pressing needs of guests. Our goal is to be a “one-stop shop” where a guest can find everything they need to move from crisis to stability.
