Cascades Community Placement Services (CCPS)

Trans-affirmingLast updated Sep 2026

About

Cascades Community Placement Services (CCPS) is a Eugene-based group that helps vulnerable people relocate to safer situations across the Pacific Northwest, including Eugene, elsewhere in Oregon, the wider PNW, and Canada. They work case by case on transportation, temporary and permanent housing, documentation, applications, and bills, and connect people to food, tech, clothing, healthcare, employment support, counseling, and other resources. They encourage you to apply even if you are unsure you qualify, and if they cannot help directly they try to connect you with someone who can. Privacy is central: Signal is their preferred contact method, and you can change or delete your data at any time. Apply through their Get Help page, or reach them at contact@orccps.org or 541-513-9204.
