If You’re Struggling to Pay Your Rent or Mortgage Due to COVID-19
    Last month, Governor Kate Brown issued an executive order halting residential evictions through June 19. The order places a temporary hold throughout Oregon on law enforcement actions relating to residential evictions for not paying rent. The Oregon Law Center has issued guidance on the order. 
Governor Kate Brown today issued Executive Order 20-13, placing a 90-day moratorium on commercial evictions for nonpayment, in light of the impacts on business owners caused by the COVID-19 crisis. The order also strengthens Governor Brown's previous ban on residential evictions, and prohibits landlords from charging tenants late fees for nonpayment of rent during the moratorium.
Regarding mortgages, Governor Brown and the Coronavirus Economic Advisory Council are working with lenders and exploring state and federal policy solutions. The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau created a guide to mortgage relief options related to coronavirus, and the Department of Consumer and Business Services has provided guidance to Oregon lenders.
Contact your landlord or mortgage lender if you are not able to make payments due to COVID-19. If you need to find a shelter, call 2-1-1. Learn more at Oregon Housing and Community Resources’ COVID-19 resources page. 

Community Action Organization provides utility bill payment and rental assistance, more information can be found on their website (which can be translated into 13 languages). Rent assistance for people who have a lease is accessible Monday through Friday by calling 503-615-0770.  Funding is provided on a fist come first served basis.

Oregonians Statewide Can Now Use SNAP to Buy Groceries Online
 
Low-income Oregonians enrolled in the federal food stamp program may purchase groceries online amid the coronavirus pandemic. All Oregonians enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, will be able to buy food online for delivery from Walmart and Amazon, making it easier for those residents to adhere to social distancing guidelines, the Oregon Department of Human Services announced March 26.

Removing Barriers to OHP Access During the COVID-19 Pandemic
 
OHA has received flexibility from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to remove barriers for Oregonians to qualify for, enroll in, and stay enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). Key changes include:
  • All members who are currently enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan will not lose coverage during this crisis. This includes coverage that is only state-funded (i.e. Cover all Kids).
  • Individuals can sign up for OHP without having to verify their income (submit a pay stub) with their application. They will be able to self-attest, which will help Oregonians get access to OHP coverage more quickly.
  • Federal stimulus payments and increased unemployment payments will not affect OHP eligibility. They will not be counted during the application process or when members report a change in their household.
If you’re an OHP member, see OHA’s fact sheet on OHP and COVID-19 for more information: English/Spanish
 

Cover All Kids OHP Coverage

Familias en Acción is a proud partner in the Cover All Kids hub coordinated by the Oregon Latino Health Coalition. This regional hub is committed to conduct outreach, enrollment, and system navigation within Multnomah and Clackamas counties for Latino individuals and families. We want to create awareness and access to health coverage!
The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is open to all children and teens younger than 19, regardless of immigration status. OHP is free health coverage for people who live in Oregon and who meet income and other criteria. It covers the health care services children and teens need to thrive such as check-ups, vaccinations, mental health care, glasses, tooth fillings and prescriptions. It also covers labs, x-rays and hospital care. It even pays for rides to and from medical appointments. Apply today to see if your children, teens and/or family qualifies. Help is free,
please contact us at 503-939-2679 or jocelin@familiasenaccion.org.

Tri Met in Estacada
TriMet is limiting the number of riders on buses to 15 people to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Because  of the revenue losses TriMet is experiencing, TriMet is  determining how best to reduce service based on the demand, while also serving the needs of our community and maintaining as much service as possible for those who must travel for essential purposes. Priority was placed on preserving access to hospitals and major health care providers, as well as major employment centers.
    
Estacada Line 30  running between Estacada and Clackamas Town Center
Effective Apr. 5, 2020  Due to COVID-19 service reductions, beginning Sunday, April 5th, this line will be running on Saturday schedule on weekdays, with service beginning two hours earlier than Saturday service in both directions. https://trimet.org/schedules/r030.htm
   
These service changes will go into effect Sunday, April 5 and appear in our Trip Planner beginning Wednesday, April 1. Updated schedules will not be posted online until April 5.
     
(View line-by-line service information at trimet.org/reducedservice.)
      
Additional changes due to COVID-19
To further promote social distancing and minimize the time our riders are near the bus operators, TriMet is no longer taking cash on buses. Riders will need to pay with Hop: either using a Hop card, their phone using a mobile wallet or virtual card, or a Hop ticket purchased at a ticket vending machine (using cash or credit\debit card) at a MAX or WES rail station. Customers who cannot access these Hop locations can contact TriMet for a free Hop card at trimet.org/health or by calling 503-238-RIDE.
