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-

DOJ declines to investigate deal with
Brown, Nike, unions
PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Department of Jus-
tice declined to open a criminal investigation into a com-
plaint alleging that a ballot initiative agreement nego-
tiated by Gov. 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.

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

rankings as well as reviews

pany has released reports
ranging from the best credit
cards with travel insurance
to the best and worst cities

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.
