**NEW Health and Human Services Resources web page in English and in Spanish to supplement existing efforts to get resources to people in a timely, effective and equitable manner.

• Oregon Department of Human Services and Oregon Health Authority collaborated to develop a comprehensive website with available resources that you can use to seek support for community members, clients, or others.  The list includes both community-specific resources (aging and people with disabilities, for example) and need-specific resources (like housing and food assistance). This is an initial version of the site and we will be updating resources on a monthly basis.
