Division 191 - EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Section 461-191-0001 - Purpose and Objectives
OAR chapter 813, division 220, is promulgated to accomplish the general purpose of ORS 458.505 to 458.545, specifically ORS 458.525 to 458.530, which designates Oregon Housing and Community Services Department as the lead agency to coordinate state efforts in meeting the problem of hunger that operates through a network of local service-provider agencies. The department has designated the Oregon Food Bank as the agency responsible for administering the Emergency Food Assistance Program in Oregon within OAR chapter 813, division 220. The program's objective is to provide lower-income households with food for home and congregate meal use. OHCS believes that receiving USDA foods will not create any additional barriers between clients and their need for food than is stated in statute.
