There has been much attention paid this year to the 50th anniversary of the War on Poverty. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson laid out a full plan to provide more opportunities and more support for our most vulnerable citizens. President Johnson spoke of using “our greatest strength” (the talent and abilities of Americans) to combat “our greatest weakness.” Community Action Partnership of Oregon was born out of this plan.

A recent report from the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA)1 shows that many of the anti-poverty programs and policies implemented as a result of Johnson’s plan have kept an average of 27 million people out of poverty every year between 1968 and 2012, and that in the absence of any tax credits or other benefits the poverty rate would have risen from 27.0% to 28.7% during that time. When taking antipoverty and social insurance programs into account, the 2012 poverty rate falls to 16%.

However, the work is far from complete. CEA reports that there were still nearly 50 million Americans living below the poverty line in 2012, including 13.4 million children. This report provides the most recent data available from the Census Bureau on poverty rates and the characteristics of those living in poverty in every county in Oregon. Data for the state and country as a whole are also provided for context.

The data presented here show that even in the midst of a strengthening economy, the poverty rate in Oregon (16.2%) remains above the national poverty rate (15.4%). In 2013 there were approximately 615,000 Oregonians living below the poverty line; this was nearly 100,000 more people than in 2010. Rural counties continue to be the hardest hit, with Malheur, Benton, Sherman, Josephine, and Lake Counties all facing poverty rates over 20%.

Children are especially vulnerable to the consequences of poverty and continue to be disproportionately represented in the population living in poverty. Children under 18 years of age made up 22% of the total statewide population in 2013, but they made up 30% of the total population living below the poverty line. Furthermore, families with children and single women with children were much more likely to be living in poverty than families overall. Just 11% of all families lived in poverty, compared to 18% of families with children, and 42% of single women with children.

Poverty rates also vary significantly by race and ethnicity throughout Oregon. While the poverty rate among whites was 14.7%, it was much higher for people of color, ranging from 15.9% for Asians up to 34.1% for African Americans.

Household income has remained stagnant in the years since the recession, but housing costs, particularly rents, have been increasing rapidly in many markets. This means that people must spend more of their earnings on the cost of housing, leaving less money left over at the end of the month for other necessities such as food, daycare, transportation, healthcare, or emergency savings. This is an especially difficult situation for people living below the poverty line. When a household spends more than 30% of their income on the cost of housing and utilities, they have a housing cost burden. This report highlights data on household incomes and housing cost burdens at various income levels. The median household income in Oregon was $50,036 in 2013.

Executive Summary

More than three-quarters (77%) of households with income at or below 50% of median household income ($25,018) faced a housing cost burden throughout the state. This income level is very close to the 2013 poverty guideline for a family of four ($23,550).

Households living below the poverty line who are severely cost burdened (spending more than 50% of income on housing costs) are at an increased risk of homelessness. According to the 2015 Point-in-Time count, completed on one night in January, there were 13,176 homeless people in Oregon. Fifty-six percent of this population was living in unsheltered locations not meant for habitation and the other 44% were living in emergency shelters or transitional housing units.

In addition to data on poverty, household income and homeless counts, this report also provides detail on services provided by the state to assist those living in poverty. Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) funded 1,545 new affordable housing units in 2013, a slight decrease from the number of units created in 2012. More than 83,000 households received assistance for home heating costs, nearly 47,000 households were able to prevent their services from being disconnected in their home, and a little more than 9,000 had service restored in their home because of energy assistance from OHCS. Finally, in 2013 52% of Oregon students were eligible for free or reduced lunch, 20% of all Oregonians received Food Stamps, and 2.3% received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (2.3%).

It is clear from data and research, as well as from the stories of service providers and families struggling to end the cycle of poverty, that these anti-poverty programs are critical to stabilizing people and getting them back on their feet. This report is intended to provide policymakers, advocates, and the public with the information they need to understand poverty in their communities and work together to find ways to both support existing efforts to end poverty and develop new and innovative strategies for ensuring that no one suffers through hunger, homelessness or the stress of living in poverty.

Executive Summary

55

This report provides readers with the most current information available from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2009-2013) on poverty rates, the characteristics of people living in poverty, and household incomes. Recent data regarding services provided by OHCS and Oregon’s Department of Human Services are also included. Finally, the report contains 2015 data on the number of homeless people and households in the state. All information is provided at the national, state, and county levels. In addition to all of these data points, the contact information and website for the Community Action Agency in each county is included.

You can use the information in this report to:

1. Communicate: cite and use the poverty statistics of each Oregon County for grant applications, talking points, reports, presentations and fundraisers.

2. Plan: Determine the areas of highest need by county or statewide as a starting point for developing plans and policies to reduce poverty.

3. Analyze: Use the year-to-year comparisons to analyze the progress of area programs, then modify, and expand the use of programs with the best results.

The report contains the following sections:

Executive SummaryThe Executive Summary includes the main findings from the report, with a focus on the statewide statistics, to provide an overview of poverty trends in Oregon.

The CSBG program is a federal anti-poverty program administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. CSBG funds provide assistance to local communities, working through a network of Community Action Agencies (CAAs) and other neighborhood organizations, for the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income communities, and the empowerment of low-income families and individuals to become fully self-sufficient.

The CSBG Program in Oregon funds a portion of the administrative and programmatic activities of CAAs. These organizations typically coordinate and administer a variety of services to assist low-income Oregonians within their own communities, in both rural and urban areas of Oregon, and serve as key partners to Oregon Housing and Community Services.

Beneficiaries of CSBG-supported programs are low-income individuals and families (at or below 125% of the federal poverty level) who receive services and activities addressing:

Community Action Initiatives to Reduce Poverty in Oregon Communities

Community Action Organization (CAO) – Benefits EnrollmentThe Washington County Benefits Enrollment Center (BEC) is a person-centered, community-based support program designed to assist seniors and persons with disabilities who receive benefits ranging from food stamps, energy assistance, Medicare savings program, and Oregon Prescription Drug, to property tax exemptions and deferrals. In addition, connections are made to other services such as Veteran and Medicare enrollment. Since the inception of the program, 1,000 individuals have been served. The estimated value of benefits to date is approximately $2 million.

Lane County – “Station 7” ProgramFor homeless, runaway and at-risk youth, the Station 7 program provides a continuum of services including: 24/7 crisis intervention, day access services, family reconciliation, crisis transportation, shelter, case management, substance abuse support services, homeless youth transitional housing assistance, and behavioral health services access. Youth participating in the Station 7 program reduce or eliminate behaviors that present barriers to meeting housing, employment, and education goals. In 2012, 182 youth were enrolled in the Station 7 Emergency Shelter and EHA Case Management programs. Of those, almost 40% transitioned to healthy, stable housing.

Oregon Human Development Corporation – Young Parents ProgramThis initiative targets parenting or pregnant teens who are on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and focuses efforts to keep those teens in school to finish their high school diploma or transition them to a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) program. Thirty-six percent of teen girls reported that pregnancy/parenthood is a major reason for dropping out of school and 34% of teen mothers earn neither a diploma nor a GED, compared to 6% of young women who are not teen mothers. The funding secured for this program is part of a state block grant under the TANF funds issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In 2012 alone, 64% of teen parents were able to stay in school, reengage back into high school, enter a GED program, or graduate.

Yamhill Community Action Partnership (YCAP) – The Bike ProgramLow-income people who can’t drive have significant transportation issues. A bike provides them with a way to get to work, the grocery store, medical appointments, and other locations and services. YCAP’s connections with low-income providers and clients offer optimal connections for distribution of bikes in Yamhill County. The local bike club was recruited to fit the bikes to clients and give them initial safety pointers. The local police office registers the bikes and offers some helmets. Most importantly, low-income clients are provided with transportation. The Bike Program is a collaborative between YCAP, Waste Management, and a local veteran. Waste Management salvages bikes that are taken to the landfill and provides them to a veteran along with some money for parts. The veteran repairs the bikes at a local high school showing students how to do the work. YCAP distributes the bikes to needy adults and children.

This report provides a unified analysis that brings together evidence across multiple key indicators, thereby allowing a statewide assessment of where problems exist, where achievements are evident, and how a coordinated effort to reduce poverty and equalize opportunity might be improved upon. For example, the Official Poverty Measure (OPM) shows that significant poverty persists in rural communities. The Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that 85% of persistent poverty counties - counties that have been in high poverty (more than 20% based on the OPM) for at least 30 years - are in rural areas.

As a result of this finding, we are coordinating more than ever before. We are bringing government agencies, the private sector, the nonprofit community and the public to the table and creating better, stronger communities.

For instance, in an effort to focus on rural areas, Oregon Solutions (with the support of ECONorthwest) is working with the Oregon Prosperity Plan to implement two pilot projects using a collaborative implementation model, one of which is in Malheur County. The grassroots initiative called, “Poverty to Prosperity: Malheur County Recovery Plan” has been launched by a cross sector of committed citizens and organizations. One of the five action committees is focused on implementing a Career Technical Education (CTE) program to enable 18-year-old men and women to find good, local jobs if they do not go to college.

Collaboration also created Bridge Meadows multigenerational housing development - a real win-win for its residents. Located in Portland, Bridge Meadows is home to foster children and their adoptive families, while also providing reduced rent apartments to low-income seniors. The elderly residents must complete 10 volunteer hours a week with the foster kids and their families in order to qualify for housing. This combination is producing tangible positive results, for both populations.

Oregon has an assortment of tools that work to alleviate poverty. Progressive legislation is one of them. The 2014 KIDS COUNT report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation on the well-being of children shows that when Oregon commits to pro-child policies, it can lead the nation in improving outcomes for Oregonians and strengthening the state. Nowhere is this more evident than in children’s health, where Oregon leapt from number 17 to number 7 in the report’s national rankings in just one year.

A main driver behind the steady climb, year over year, in Oregon’s child health ranking is the state’s continued success in enrolling children in health care coverage. Oregon’s rate of uninsured children decreased by more than half (from 13% to 6%) between 2008 and 2012. This decline was brought about by the 2009 passage of the Oregon Healthy Kids program, which extended low- and no-cost coverage to more children through expanded eligibility and sustained outreach efforts across the state.

This aligns with the national trend that there are fewer children in poverty than last year. The U.S. Census Bureau has announced that in 2013, the poverty rate declined from the previous year for the first time since 2006. The poverty rate for children under 18 declined from 21.8% in 2012 to 19.9% in 2013. The number of children in poverty also declined, from 16.1 million to 14.7 million. This was the first time since 2000 that the child poverty rate declined.

In Oregon, the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits (EITC and CTC) are widely promoted and employed. Both the EITC and the partially refundable component of the CTC increase the reward to work, offsetting payroll taxes and providing a supplement to labor market earnings. Research has shown this increases work

and earnings as well as participation in the workforce, particularly for single parents. What’s more, increased family income in childhood from the EITC and CTC leads to higher student achievement. The EITC and the CTC reduced the 2012 poverty rate by 3 percentage points among all individuals and by 6.7 percentage points among children.

It is possible for America to dramatically cut poverty. Between 1959 and 1973, a strong economy, investments in family economic security and new civil rights protections helped cut the U.S. poverty rate in half. Investments in nutrition assistance improved educational attainment, earnings, and income among the young girls who were some of the food stamp program’s first recipients. Expansions of public health insurance have lowered infant mortality rates and reduced the incidence of low birth rates. In more recent history, states that raised the minimum wage have illustrated the important role that policy plays in combating wage stagnation.

There is nothing inevitable about poverty. We can build the political will to enact the policies that will increase economic security, expand opportunities and grow the middle class. We will continue to use our greatest strengths to fight, reduce and eradicate poverty.

Data Sources

Population change since 2000: OHCS relies on county population data from the 2000 US Decennial Census and 2009-2013 American Community Survey (Table B01003) for each county and the state. http://2010.census.gov/2010census/ https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/

Poverty Rates: Data for all counties, the state, and the US come from the 2009-2013 American Community Survey table B17001. https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/

Unemployment Rates: 2009 through 2014 unemployment rates come from the Oregon Employment Department’s local area unemployment statistics for average covered non-farm unemployment rate by county. http://www.qualityinfo.org

Poverty Population Characteristics: Data for all counties, the state, and the US come from the 2009-13 American Community Survey tables B17001 A-I, B17010, and B17016. http://www.census.gov/acs/www/

Services Provided Table:

- Units funded with OHCS resources: this number represents the number of affordable housing units in the county for the specified calendar year that were supported by funding allocated by OHCS. The amounts do not represent rolling totals; the number reflects units funded for the specified year only. These could represent units being renovated or under construction. The data come from the OHCS Department Information System for Housing (DISH), based on the funding approval date.

- OHCS funding for affordable housing: this number represents the funds allocated by OHCS to projects in each county in the specified calendar year based on funding approval date. It represents funding from several programs at OHCS implemented to help moderate- to low-income families by developing, financing and preserving locally supported affordable housing. These fund awards can apply to predevelopment, new construction and renovation activities. If there is a dollar amount and no new units in a given year, the specified funding supported predevelopment or non-housing investments (such as community rooms or public facilities). The data come from the OHCS Department Information System for Housing (DISH).

Households receiving energy assistance-#: this number represents the number of households who received assistance for home heating costs for the specified calendar year. Energy assistance represents two programs: the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Oregon Energy Assistance Program (OEAP). Some households receive assistance from both LIHEAP and OEAP. This data represents an unduplicated count within the county as well as for the state. State totals may not match the county sum of households receiving assistance as some households may have received services in multiple counties. The data come from the OHCS OPUS system.

8888

- Disconnects Prevented-#: this number represents the number of households receiving energy assistance that were able to avoid having services disconnected from their homes. The data come from the OHCS OPUS system.

- Restored Utility-#: this number represents the number of households receiving energy assistance that were able to restore utility services to their homes. The data come from the OHCS OPUS system.

- Household income for energy assistance average-#: this number represents the average household income of those receiving energy assistance. The county figures are actual averages and the statewide figure is derived from weighted averages of county level data. The data come from the OHCS OPUS system.

- Students eligible for free/reduced lunch-#: this figure represents the number of children within each county that were eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunch. In general, students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch when the household receives public assistance, such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families or food stamps, or if the household income does not exceed 185 percent of the federal poverty level. The data come from the Oregon Department of Education. http://www.ode.state.or.us/data/reports/toc.aspx#students.

- Students eligible for free/reduced lunch-%: this figure represents the number of children within each county that were eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunch as a percentage of all enrolled students. In general, students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch when the household receives public assistance, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or food stamps, or if the household income does not exceed 185 percent of the federal poverty level. The data come from the Oregon Department of Education. http://www.ode.state.or.us/data/reports/toc.aspx#students.

- Population receiving Food Stamps-%: this number represents an unduplicated client count of food stamp recipients as a percentage of the Census population estimate for each year. The data come from DHS program staff.

- Population receiving TANF-%: this number represents an unduplicated client count of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in the year specified as a percentage of the Census population estimate for each year. The data come from DHS program staff.

Household Income and Housing Burden: Data for all counties, the state and the US come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) 2008-12 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data. This dataset is a special tabulation of American Community Survey data provided to HUD by the Census Bureau to incorporate HUD defined income limits and demonstrate the extent of various housing problems, such as housing cost burden.
