Oregon ranks first for homeless youth By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — Oregon ranks first in the nation for the rate of homeless children and youth and 10th in the per- centage of foster care place- ments, according to a new report by WalletHub. Overall, Oregon ranked 12th in the ratio of disadvan- taged, or “underprivileged” children, compared with Washington, which ranked 26th, and California, which was 22nd. The report, “2018’s States with the Most Under- privileged Children,” com- pared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 24 child welfare metrics using statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources to rank the states on child welfare. Metrics included the per- centage of children living in poverty, the rate of child food insecurity, the state’s share of children who have been reported abused and other factors. In Oregon, the rate of homeless children and foster care placements have some correlation. The state’s number of homeless students was at a record high in 2016-17 at 22,541, according to the most recent state count. That was a 5.6 percent jump from 2015-16. Meanwhile, inadequate housing is the third biggest driver of foster care place- ments, according to statistics from the Oregon Department of Human Services. The per- centage of foster care place- ments due to inadequate housing has increased from 13 percent in 2015 to 17 per- cent in 2017. Christine Stone, a spokes- woman for the Oregon Child Welfare Office, said she was unable to comment on the report Wednesday, Aug. 8, because she couldn’t reach the office’s experts on foster care placements. The office planned to issue a statement Thursday, Aug. 9. Gov. Kate Brown’s office issued a statement on the report stressing the impor- -0s ADVERTISING Regional Publisher and Revenue Director: Christopher Rush 541-278-2669 • crush@eomediagroup.com Advertising Services: Grace Bubar 541-276-2214 • gbubar@eastoregonian.com Multimedia Consultants: • Kimberly Macias 541-278-2683 • kmacias@eastoregonian.com • Jeanne Jewett 541-564-4531 • jjewett@eastoregonian.com • Dayle Stinson 541-278-2670 • dstinson@eastoregonian.com • Angela Treadwell 541-966-0827 • atreadwell@eastoregonian.com • Audra Workman 541-564-4538 • aworkman@eastoregonian.com SUBSCRIPTION RATES Copyright © 2018, EO Media Group 2 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. Subscriber services: For mail delivery, online access, vacation stops or delivery concerns call 1-800-522-0255 ext. 1 East Oregonian (USPS 164-980) is published daily except Sunday, Monday and postal holidays, by the EO Media Group, 211 S.E.

Kate Brown, Nike and public employee union was illegal. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Department of Justice Criminal Justice Division chief counsel Michael Slauson says, “a criminal investigation is not warranted in this matter.” Slauson referred the complaint, filed last month by Portland resident Richard Leonetti, back to the Secretary of State’s office to determine whether it should take civil or administrative action. Leonetti’s complaint focused on an apparent deal to keep the public employee union’s so-called corporate transparency initiative off the November ballot. Initiative Petition 25 would have required large companies such as Nike to disclose their taxes and other sensitive business information in filings with the state, or pay a fine. Staff photo by E.J. Harris Pendleton High School freshman Daniel Lamont was homeless for about four months in 2017, living in a tent with his mother in the backyard of a family mem- ber’s house. During that time Lamont says he spent a lot of his time at the Pendle- ton Public Library. tance of affordable, stable housing in addressing child welfare. “Oregon’s families need support to stay safely together, and the governor is working to bring more hous- ing under development in the state pipeline as well as focusing on root causes that drive children into foster care, such as addiction treat- ment and recovery, access to comprehensive health care and domestic vio- lence,” said Kate Kondayen, a governor’s spokeswoman. “The governor is also sup- porting the Department of Human Services Child Wel- fare division as they work on right-sizing the foster care system.” Some advocates believe mandatory relocation assis- tance for evicted tenants and rent control policies amid a boom in statewide popula- tion and demand for housing could help curb the trend. “Without statewide tenant protections in Ore- gon, people are facing dis- placement, causing their families to either be ripped apart or live on the streets,” said Alison McIntosh of the Oregon Housing Alliance. “Protecting these children should be the first priority” during the state legislative session in January, she said. A recent state audit shows the Oregon Child Welfare Office is still plagued with no centralized system for reporting child abuse, high caseworker turnover and a lack of follow-through on recommendations from pre- vious routine audits. The office has a short- age of foster parents with no plan to augment the number, according to the audit. WalletHub, a Washing- ton, D.C.-based personal finance website, produces a variety of city and state rankings as well as reviews of credit cards. The com- pany has released reports ranging from the best credit cards with travel insurance to the best and worst cities for singles to live.

WSU short of dorm rooms as it welcomes largest frosh class. PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Washington State Univer- sity is preparing to welcome the largest freshman class in its history, and is short of dorm rooms to house them. More than 4,300 freshmen are expected to fill the school’s residence halls next week. Officials of the Pullman school say 237 students are still on a wait list for a place to live. WSU spokesman Phil Weiler says officials are scram- bling to find beds for those students. The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports the school has already reopened Waller Hall, a dormitory that closed in 2015, to accommodate incoming freshman men. Weiler says for women, the university will be convert- ing single-student rooms in Orton Hall to house two stu- dents. And some dorm rooms have been upped from two students to three.
