HomePlate Youth Services

Mission

HomePlate uplifts and empowers young people experiencing housing instability through community building, education, and access to services and resources. 

Bottom Line for Portland

HomePlate envisions communities where homelessness is a short-term circumstance, not a long-term or chronic condition, and youth are supported in their communities. 

We strive to disrupt cycles of homelessness by:

• - supporting youth in self-sufficiency;
• - education exploration;
• - workforce development;
• - and community

Quote

"When I found myself without a home, without food, without hope, HomePlate was there to catch me...HomePlate didn't just meet my needs; they invested in my future." - Kody, 21

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Young people are resilient and valid members of this community who are capable of making their own decisions and deserve a source of support. Read our full equity statement here!
