Path Home

Mission

Path Home empowers families with children to get back into housing and stay there. 

We’re working towards a future where no family experiences homelessness and where every family receives the support and compassion necessary to thrive.

Bottom Line

Family homelessness in Oregon ranks worst in the nation—14x higher than the national average. Even when families with children move back into housing, they have no choice but to navigate a fragmented social service system that makes it difficult to stay housed long-term.
 

Our Family Village Shelter is one of two shelters for families in Multnomah County and is the first shelter in Oregon featuring using trauma-informed design and architecture and we apply the housing first model to fidelity, getting families back into housing and back to stability.

Our trauma-informed solutions work: 

92% of families from shelter move back into permanent housing (compared to 50% in the average Portland shelter) and 90% keep their housing long-term.
