Sisters of the Road
Mission
We build authentic relationships and alleviate the hunger of isolation in an atmosphere of nonviolence and gentle personalism that nurtures the whole individual, while seeking systemic solutions that reach the roots of homelessness and poverty in order to end them forever.
Bottom Line for Portland
We believe it is possible to end homelessness in Portland, and in the face of Portland's housing affordability crisis, we strive to mobilize a grassroots community to address the root causes of homelessness and poverty and end the violent policies that are negatively impacting our unhoused neighbors.

““We cannot afford to let people who are afraid of the homeless be the ones exclusively responsible for making policy about their lives. “
