“A Home for Everyone” is a community-based organization that focusses on providing opportunities for the unhoused in Portland. They focus on six key areas: Housing, Income, Health, Survival, Access to Services, and System coordination. The website states:
“We unite people who experience homelessness: elected officials from Portland, Gresham, and Multnomah County; our local housing authority, Home Forward, and leaders from the faith, philanthropy, business and non-profit sectors in the effort to end homelessness”.
They plan on achieving this goal by cutting the number of people who become homeless each year and increase the number of people who leave homelessness for housing each year. In their fifth fiscal year, they helped over 37,000 people with some level of housing and support services. They have been helping the homeless in Multnomah County since 2014 and have grown every year in terms of the work that they have been doing to provide the tools necessary to those in need. In the first year of their Supportive Housing Services program, they have set a goal of funding 1300 housing placements and more than 400 new shelter beds.
