Central City Concern

Mission

Since 1979, the Portland community has trusted Central City Concern to help people experiencing or at risk of homelessness create meaningful, long-term change. We meet people where they are, providing a comprehensive continuum of affordable housing options, integrated with direct social services including health care, recovery and employment. Our vision is a connected community where all our neighbors have access to housing, health and economic opportunity. Together, we will end homelessness.

Bottom Line for Portland

Every year, Central City Concern supports over 15,000 individuals in their journey towards self-sufficiency and productivity. In 2023, we provided a safe home for 4,951 people, connected 11,135 patients with compassionate, integrated health services and addiction substance use disorder recovery (including culturally specific services for the Latinx/Hispanic and Black community) and assisted 1,310 job seekers. 

Quote

“I remember folks talking about this full circle. This paying it forward. To be able to support and to prevent that person from going through what I went through...it’s why I keep doing what I’m doing.”
