Homelessness in Salem is a complex problem that requires long-term, committed partnerships with public and non-profit agencies and organizations across the City, Marion County, and Polk County. We thank the many non-profit, private, and government organizations that have joined together in seeking proactive solutions.

The Salem community's support is critical to helping the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.
