OCWCOG is a regional intergovernmental organization based in Albany, Oregon, serving Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties for more than five decades. It operates through three main departments—Senior and Disability Services, Community Service Programs, and Community and Economic Development—to coordinate a range of local, state, and federal programs for its member governments. As a government relations and regional services entity, OCWCOG administers many programs via contracts, delivering services that support residents and jurisdictions, from helping seniors and people with disabilities plan for independent living to guiding local road improvement priorities. Its customers include the member governments and residents across the three-county region, with services spanning aging and disability supports, community programs, and development initiatives. A notable recent development is OCWCOG's collaboration with Communityservices to issue a shared DEI consultant RFP in September 2022, reflecting ongoing partnerships to address regional needs.
