Community Services Consortium worked
closely with community members and agencies in Lincoln County to
coordinate "At Home in Lincoln County", a 10-Year Plan to
End Homelessness. This planning process included a steering group and
stakeholder committee to find resources and build solutions to combat
the affordable housing crisis in Lincoln County. Several cities have
passed a resolution of support
drafted by County Commissioner Bill Hall. Community forums were held
throughout the county to gather public input and share information of
local agencies and community members.

At Home In Lincoln County Report to the
Community: Year One
It’s been almost a year since the launch of At Home in Lincoln
County, a ten-year housing plan with a special focus on chronic
homelessness...
In May, the Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) Department
awarded CSC a $540,000 grant that allowed for the purchase of a
six-unit apartment building in Newport (pictured above) which will be
known as Tern House. The first residents are expected to move into
Tern House before the end of the year. CSC is working on a second
application to OHCS for $810,000 in PSH funding. If that grant is
submitted and approved, the agency will acquire a 12-unit apartment
building that will be known as Pelican Place. While Tern House will
serve single homeless individuals, ten of the units at Pelican Place
will accommodate families. CSC will look at additional opportunities
to acquire units of PSH after the first two facilities are up and
running and as additional funding opportunities become available.
