Draft budget

To help build the proposed 2009-2011 budget DHS staff held a series of community forums to gather input, received comments via e-mail and mail, and spoke with many state leaders and representatives of advocacy groups. These comments and concerns were instrumental in developing a series of policy option packages (POPs), which are proposed additions to the current DHS base budget. These POPs represent the foundation of a needs-based budget and demonstrate what is required to provide a more complete range of the health and human services Oregonians need and deserve.
