The rent-help window leads because it carries the highest practical consequence and needs careful limits. Monday's UO reopening and same-day child-care training follow as a two-clock timeline. Roadwork and EWEB's early closure form a movement-and-service pair; the UO petition and school-facilities report create a campus section with different shapes. Party Bar and the water-station drill close on two unusual, low-stakes participation ideas before Paddle Addle. Every story appears once, adjacent structures vary, and Paddle Addle is last.
A narrow door is open
Rent-help screening is open; the Sept. 11 draw is not a promise
Lane County residents can request eligibility screening through Sept. 10 for Catholic Community Services' next limited rent-assistance lottery.
The useful window is open now: Catholic Community Services' 2026 calendar marks Aug. 20 through Sept. 10 for eligibility screening ahead of a Sept. 11 rent-assistance lottery draw. This is a chance to enter a limited selection process, not a promise that rent will be paid.
Lane County residents can ask to be screened by calling 541-345-3628 and choosing option 4, emailing help@ccslc.org, or visiting the CCS service centers at 1464 W. 6th Avenue in Eugene or 1025 G Street in Springfield. The page says eligibility depends on housing status, age, income and ZIP code.
CCS describes the help as very limited. A small number of names are drawn at random, and selected applicants have 48 hours to return required documents. The calendar also says dates can change, so confirm the window directly before relying on it.
