For organizations

Run a nonprofit, agency, clinic, shelter, or community project? An organization page gives you one public link on LaneHelp, a team, and tools to keep your updates, listings, and bed counts current.

What it does
How to create or claim your organization’s page, what you can do once you’re approved, and where the lines are.
Good for
If you represent an organization in Lane County, or know one that belongs here.
You’ll need
Nothing to browse pages. To request one: a free account and a website, work email, or public link that shows your connection.
On this page

A listing describes one service. An organization page describes you: who you are, how to reach you, what you’re posting, and which listings are yours. Approved pages live at a short address like lanehelp.com/your-name, and the full set is in the Organization directory.

Create or claim a page#

  1. Sign in and choose what you need

    The form needs an account. Pick Claim an existing organization if your page is already here, Create a new organization if it isn’t, or Suggest an organization if you know one but don’t represent it.

  2. Identify the organization

    Search for it, or type its name and pick a type. LaneHelp shows close matches so you don’t create a duplicate, and previews your public address.

  3. Show your connection

    Add a Work email, an Official website, or a Supporting proof link, plus a sentence or two about what you do. At least one website or proof link is required. The request doesn’t publish your work email.

  4. Send for review

    Tap Send for review. Track it under Organizations in your account, where you can verify your work email with a code, update the request, or withdraw it.

Once you’re approved#

Your tools live in Org Mode. From there you can:

  • Post an update — hours today, a closure, or an announcement. You see a preview first, choose who can see it, and set when it expires.
  • Bed status — for organizations confirmed for a shelter. Enter available beds, intake (open, waitlist, or closed), and notes. It shows on the live shelter page right away.
  • Linked resources — request changes to directory listings tied to you. The public listing stays the same until LaneHelp approves them.
  • Team — invite teammates and choose roles, so the page doesn’t depend on one person’s login.
  • Page details — edit your public page, print a flyer version, set up affiliation flair, and export your data or ask for a correction.

Questions people ask

A coworker already set up our page. How do I join?
Ask an owner or admin to invite you. The invitation shows up on your invitations page.
Do we need a work email?
Not always. Official representatives need a work email or an official website. Community suggestions need a supporting link and a short explanation.
Can people report our page?
Yes. Organization pages have a Report button for misleading or outdated information, impersonation, spam, or harmful content. A moderator reviews each report.
Can we pay to rank higher?
No. Money never buys ranking or visibility. To help keep LaneHelp running, see Support LaneHelp.
