Disability Support Agency Serving Benton County
Benton County is home to North Star Oregon. Our headquarters are in Philomath at 1229 SW Main St, Suite 106, and our Corvallis DSA location serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities from across the county. With a population of approximately 99,000, Benton County anchors Oregon's mid-Willamette Valley and is best known as the home of Oregon State University in Corvallis. For individuals and families seeking disability support services here, North Star Oregon is not a distant statewide provider — we are your neighbors.
Disability services in Benton County are coordinated through the Benton County Developmental Diversity Program (the local CDDP), located at 4077 SW Research Way, Suite 200, Corvallis, OR 97333. You can reach them at 541-766-6847. Benton County uses the term "Developmental Diversity" rather than "Developmental Disabilities" — a distinction that reflects the county's person-first, strengths-based approach to services. The CDDP handles eligibility determination, needs assessment, and service coordination for children and adults with I/DD. North Star Oregon works closely with Benton County's service coordination team and has for years.
Beyond Corvallis, Benton County includes the communities of Philomath, Monroe, Adair Village, and unincorporated areas like Alsea, Alpine, Bellfountain, Blodgett, and Kings Valley in the Coast Range foothills. North Star Oregon serves families across this entire geography — from the OSU campus area to the most rural corners of western Benton County.

Benton County covers about 676 square miles, and while Corvallis is the population center, a significant portion of the county is rural — stretching west through the Coast Range to communities like Alsea and Blodgett. North Star Oregon's in-home model reaches across this geography. Our support workers travel to where our clients live, whether that is a home in south Corvallis, a property outside Philomath, or a rural address near Kings Valley. Because our headquarters are right here in Benton County, our response times and local familiarity are strong.
