For homeless encampments:

House Bill 3124 requires cities to provide a 72-hour notice (with few exceptions) before removing an “established” camp (established is undefined under Oregon law, but a camp would be deemed established after it has been in place for 72 hours).  The city must preserve and provide access to personal property collected when a camp is removed.

The City of Lebanon Community Resource Officers work diligently with other resource partners to assist our homeless community help find emergency shelter, treatment centers, transitional housing, showers, laundry service, meals, medical services, case management employment training and more.
