By the end of 2024, over 8,000 clients will have gone through Oregon’s program—of those clients served, just .06% required a call to emergency services, indicating that the program’s safety guardrails are yielding appropriate results.

During the briefing, the Healing Advocacy Fund team discussed its support of safety, access and outcomes throughout 2024, including advocacy for changes to rulemaking advisory boards, creating and sharing a client safety guide, and holding regular meetings among service providers to share best practices and offer new skills.
