Outside In is an organization here in Portland that is focused on breaking the cycle of homelessness, poverty, and poor health among Portland’s LGBTQ+ community. They focus on providing a safe space that is judgement free and offers care and support. They offer behavioral health services, health services, meal and housing services, and substance use and recovery support.

A little bit about Outside In from their website:

“Since 1968, Outside In has supported youth experiencing homelessness and other marginalized people as they move toward improved health and self-sufficiency. Driven to meet the changing needs of those it helps, the agency has created an all-inclusive and integrated system of cutting edge and sometimes controversial wraparound services that has transformed and saved thousands of lives over the years.”
