special report
The Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce has tracked the efforts to manage our homeless crisis and engaged in conversations to identify resources over the past few years; however, there has been no collective effort for the private business community to formally engage in this issue at a community-wide level. As a result, we set out to better understand the complexity of this crisis in order to identify existing barriers so we could recommend improvements. We do not claim to be experts, but we have spoken to the experts and their insights are included in this report.
A comprehensive summary of our research, this report is intended to document the current state of the homeless crisis in our community. It highlights a collection of successful endeavors worthy of recognition, along with recommendations for additional actions. The solutions—plural intended—cannot be reduced to a simple “golden ticket.” We believe there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and we hope to inspire community partners to unite to end homelessness in our community.
