As many as 35% of Oregon renters owe back rent, according to a recent study by Faculty Researcher Dr. Lisa K. Bates. That number increases to 56% for people of color. Even with an extension of the current moratorium, Oregon will likely only delay the evictions without additional supports.

Consider donating time, supplies, or money to nonprofits on the frontlines helping the houseless & hungry during this pandemic.

The Portland State University Library and our center created a special topic page on Homelessness for researchers and the general public. Find everything from data and statistics to stories from those with lived experiences.
