Salem Social Services
Through its needs assessment process, the Social Service Advisory Board (SSAB) has identified food, shelter, health, safety, and crisis resolution as the needs it will address through the City of Salem funding process. It does this through a biennial request for proposal process that asks local non-profit agencies to apply for funds to alleviate these problems in the community.
The SSAB meets monthly at: Urban Development Offices, 350 Commercial Street NE, Salem, Oregon 97301.
Staff Liaison: Toni Payseno. Phone: 503.588.6178; TTY phone number: 503.588.6370.
