(Outside In)
Many of those who live on the street have limited to no access to healthcare. Money certainly plays a factor, and some individuals have trauma related to state and city organizations and would rather stay on their own. A Portland area nonprofit is working hard to meet the needs of those left behind.
Outside In, provides access to a wide range of healthcare for those experiencing homelessness. Providing two locations in addition to their mobile medical van, Outside In is prepared to assist all patients, serving between 5,300 and 5,800 patients a week, and no one is turned away for inability to pay.
