Emergency Housing Network

The Emergency Housing Network brings together hundreds of community partners and stakeholders who want to network with, educate, or update other advocates and agencies serving the homeless and at-risk populations of greater Salem.

The Emergency Housing Network meets the second Thursday of each month from 10am to 11:30am at the Union Gospel Mission Chapel, 777 Commercial Street NE, Salem, OR, 97301. Attendance is open to organizations and advocates interested in comprehensive collaboration to end homelessness.

Salem Housing Authority runs each Emergency Housing Network meeting and publishes a monthly newsletter of agency events and updates. Contact us to present your organization at a meeting.

Only EHN agencies may submit lottery nominations on behalf of their clients. Dial 211 to find a shelter within the Salem area.

EHN is hosted by:
