We need a thriving workforce to address the homelessness crisis. You can make that possible.
Tell elected leaders across the region to increase wages for community-based social service workers in the FY24 budget. Send your letter NOW!

Thank you Multnomah County Board for passing $16 million in rent assistance and other supportive services! By listening to those most impacted by the housing crisis, we create more opportunities for our community to thrive!

Portland recently allocated $27 million to fund city sanctioned encampments. We must let our elected leadership know, we need investments in sustainable solutions. Join us & @catoregon in saying “No, to Mass Camps!” by sending a letter linked below.

On November 16th, Multnomah County opened the first two floors of the Behavioral Health Resource Center in downtown Portland. We are hopeful that our government chooses to invest in projects like the this, rather than expensive, short-term strategies.

"As the region’s main agency addressing homelessness, how much input was JOHS given in the city’s recent plan to ban homeless camping and create camps?"
"Zero. We had zero conversations with the city of Portland about this plan before it was announced."

This summer, a program called Move-In Multnomah transitioned 214 people into housing in 4 months! This is an example of creative ways tax dollars are creating housing opportunities. We must prioritize funding innovative solutions that actually work!

Molly Hogan of @WelcomeHomeOrg dropping the truth! It costs $51k a year to JUST jail someone (if they don’t go to these camps)… and $20k less to put someone in a private market housing with services for that same year. That $51k doesn’t even count sweeps costs, cleanup, etc.
