What is a Brokerage and why are you called a Brokerage? Brokerages are private agencies (typically nonprofit charities) that contract with the Oregon Department of Human Services to provide case management, resources, and access to in-home/community based support services. We offer self-directed, person-centered services. Brokerages are the connection between your goals and the resources you need to achieve those goals. We help you navigate available services and we're the link to the appropriate support services.
