Family Promise of Tualatin Valley

Mission

The mission of Family Promise of Tualatin Valley (FPTV) is to equip vulnerable families and individuals to end the cycle of homelessness through a community based response.  

Bottom Line for Portland

Family homeless is often a hidden issue, with families sleeping in cars or doubled up. In 2023, FPTV provided 28,369 bed nights of shelter, over 73,000 meals and 78% of our households transitioned into stable housing! Additionally we helped another 481 individuals keep their existing housing. 

Quote

A family of four, with two elderly parents, one disabled adult and one special needs adult daughter were living in their car. FPTV was able to assist them with moving costs in order to get them into an apartment. “Sandy” told us: "Thank you to FPTV for helping us get into an apartment. I feel safe knowing that my elderly parents and my sister are safe, warm, and can clean up when they want to. I don't what to say but THANK YOU."

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

While anybody can be in danger of losing their home, we know that homelessness disproportionately impacts Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) members of our community. This is not an accident—rather, it is the direct result of state and national policies endorsing systemic racism and discrimination. While the root causes of these inequities and injustices are multifaceted, homelessness and wealth disparities in our community result from systems of discrimination against BIPOC members of our community, not from individual shortcomings.
