Question 1

Where can I find shelter in Lane County?

Accepted Answer

Start with the LaneHelp shelter finder to see reported shelter availability, intake notes, and related safe sleep or emergency shelter resources. Call the listed program before traveling because intake rules can change.

Question 2

How often does LaneHelp refresh shelter availability?

Accepted Answer

LaneHelp refreshes the shelter board roughly every 5 minutes from the Lane County shelter availability page while the page is open.

Question 3

Does an open bed mean walk-up intake is available?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Some Lane County shelters require coordinated entry, referral, screening, activation rules, or program-specific intake even when beds are reported open. Each program card lists its first step.

Question 4

Where can I find safe parking or overnight parking help?

Accepted Answer

Use the related safe parking page and directory search for vehicle shelter, overnight parking, safe sleep, and housing-navigation resources, then confirm current program rules with the listed source.
