In the beautiful city of Portland lies a community that is often overlooked and underserved: the unsheltered residents. Every day, people facing homelessness navigate the hardships of survival, dreaming of finding a place of stability. At the heart of their struggle lies a fundamental need: hygiene. Imagine for a moment the daily realities faced by people without stable housing. Within those realities is the lack of access to basic hygiene necessities. For the unsheltered residents in Portland and anywhere in the world, access to clean water, toilets, showers, and personal hygiene resources isn’t just a convenience; it’s a matter of dignity, health, and well-being.
Hygiene 4 All is an organization dedicated to addressing the hygiene needs of the houseless residents of Portland. It is led by a diverse team of both sheltered and unsheltered staff members. Hygiene 4 All has become a symbol of hope in the Portland community. At the heart of their mission is the commitment to address the public health and sanitation crisis contributed by disparities in housing, wealth, and infrastructure. Through collective effort and compassionate action, Hygiene 4 All has created a safe space that offers healing and support to those in need.
MISSION:
“H4A’s team of sheltered and unsheltered staff has designed a place of community safety that offers an effective, healing response to the public health and sanitation crisis brought by growing housing, wealth, and infrastructure gaps. H4A works to ensure our houseless neighbors have an equal voice in creating more equitable access to the basic public resources required for human dignity, including water, sewer, and waste management services.”ADDRESS:
