Lincoln County Health and Human Services is excited to announce
completed renovations and the opening of the Community Shelter and Resource
Center’s Lincoln City location at 2125 NW Highway 101 on Monday, Dec. 23. The
mission of the Community Shelter and Resource Center, a winter overnight shelter
dedicated to saving lives one night at a time, is to connect guests with essential
services to help individuals not just survive, but to thrive.
The opening of its Lincoln City campus represents a significant expansion of the
shelter’s capacity to directly serve residents of the north county in the community where
they live. Health and Human Services Director Jayne Romero says, “We are incredibly
happy to finally have a permanent home for the winter shelter in Lincoln City. We
appreciate the support from our various funders and the help we received from County
staff, to City staff to contractors, who have made this possible.”
Health and Human Services recently purchased this property, and the location’s
opening follows some renovations, including installation of an accessible restroom. This
permanent location enhances the shelter’s ability to provide life-saving services.
The Community Shelter and Resource Center is a safe, welcoming and affirming place
for all members of the community, including their furry companions. The Lincoln City
and Newport locations are open seven nights a week and will offer overnight shelter
through the end of April. Open intakes are from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Learn more at
The shelter’s work is possible through the generosity of community members who
volunteer and donate to make a difference – providing comfort and dignity to those who
need it the most. Current donation priority needs include:
• Clothing for men and women in all sizes (waterproof jackets, waterproof boots,
shower flip-flops, hoodies, t-shirts, socks, underwear, belts)
