Help in Clackamas County
Do you have questions about COVID-19 and Clackamas County’s response? You can find out more by going to https://www.clackamas.us/coronavirus 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.

LEARN MORE Click here for More COVID-19 Resources 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.
