Path Home, formerly Portland Homeless Family Solutions, have been serving the Portland area for the past 15 years. Path Home's mission is to better envision a world where every family facing housing insecurity can find—and keep—a permanent home.
Path Home recognizes that there are an estimated 5,200 people who are experiencing homelessness in Portland (according to the Multnomah County's 2022 Point-in-Time Count of Homelessness.) Path Home offers four program options to local Oregonians:
Housing First: Families have a safe, warm place to sleep every night of the year. We have all the comforts of home – private sleeping spaces, food, showers, laundry, computers, and clothing. We rely on a team of over 300 volunteers to help provide supportive, compassionate services
Prevention: Families with a 72-hour eviction notice get to keep their housing. We pay security deposits, moving costs, or back rent for families so they never have to experience homelessness with their children.
Shelter: Families have a safe, warm place to sleep every night of the year. We have all the comforts of home – private sleeping spaces, food, showers, laundry, computers, and clothing. We rely on a team of over 300 volunteers to help provide supportive, compassionate services.
Adult Education: Families take evidence-based classes to learn new skills they can use to get and keep housing. Our classes include Incredible Years Parenting, Rent Well Tenant Education, and the ARISE Life Skills Curriculum.
With the support of generous people, Path Homes help over 400 families each year find permanent housing!
