ODHS Strategic Plan

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is preparing for the future through agency-wide strategic planning.

Agency-wide strategic planning is a new process for ODHS. It's an opportunity to document the important work underway to better serve people and families, as well as set measurable goals to be completed within a 3-year timeline.

About the plan

ODHS' strategic plan was submitted to the Governor on May 31, 2024. The two-page overview submitted is attached below, along with the larger plan. Now, planning for implementation has begun.

The plan is based on existing input from staff, partners and communities. The plan focuses on shoring up our foundations and the strategic plan goal areas are: equity, Tribal relationships, technology, data, workforce, operations and cross-agency collaboration.

This is largely internal work which will help us work together to serve people, communities, and Tribes better.

Community and staff will be engaged during the implementation of the plan, which will begin in June 2024. Thank you to the many staff and community members who offered their stories, feedback and ideas during the development of the plan.
