Good Neighbor Center
Mission
The Good Neighbor Center serves families experiencing housing insecurity with empathy and equity. The GNC team provides a safe environment and needed resources while assisting in finding permanent housing and stability.
Bottom Line for Portland
GNC is a family shelter located in Tigard OR. We are a 54 bed emergency shelter that can house up to 9 families for up to six weeks at a time. Without a safe place to sleep at night, ready access to nutritious food, housing case management, and available daycare services so parents can get to work families, and people living unsheltered, will have few options for life beyond houselessness. Funds donated to the Good Neighbor Center (GNC) during the Give Guide campaign will go directly to develop a daycare within the GNC family shelter and the enhancement of programs that support families in achieving stable housing.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Our colleagues are our most valuable and precious asset. The collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation and achievements as well. We embrace and encourage our employees' differences in age, color, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.
