Some EOCCO members can get extra support with things like rent, food and staying safe in their home during bad weather. These are called Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) benefits.

They’re designed to help with everyday needs that affect your health, like making your home safe, having healthy meals to eat and staying cool or warm during extreme weather.

What are HRSN benefits?

HRSN benefits are extra services for EOCCO members who qualify. These services help support your health by meeting basic needs and are at no cost for eligible members. There are three main types:

• Climate-related help: Get devices like air conditioners or space heaters if the weather or wildfires affect your health
• Housing help: Get support with rent, utility bills and more
• Nutrition help: Get healthy meals delivered to your home or learn more about how food supports your health

Each benefit has its own rules about who qualifies and how to apply.

Who can get these benefits?

You may qualify for one or more HRSN benefits if you:

• Are an EOCCO member with Oregon Health Plan (OHP) medical coverage under a CCOA or CCOB plan

• Recently got out of jail or prison
• Is or was involved in the child welfare system
