Path Home

Mission

Path Home's mission is to empower families with children to get back into housing and stay there.

Bottom Line for Portland

Last year, Path Home helped 564 families through programs designed to help them move from crisis to stability:

Path Home’s Prevention Program offers flexible assistance to families at risk of eviction so that parents and kids never have to experience the trauma of homelessness. At Family Village shelter, the first family shelter in Oregon designed using trauma-informed design and architecture, 86% of families who stay in shelter move back into permanent housing, and the average length of stay is less than four months. The Housing First Program helps families move back into homes as quickly as possible and provides the long-term, loving support they need to keep their housing long term - 87% of families keep housing for good.

Please make a gift today to build dignity, restore power, and promote autonomy for local kids and their families. 

Quote

"I can’t tell you how thankful I am for your program. You have given me a chance to make something for my family. You have allowed me to breathe knowing my rent is paid and I do not have to face the cold alone. Thank you, from my family to yours. I will do my best to pay this forward and help someone within my means." Bronson, Prevention program participant
