  • Do Good Multnomah - Housing  + (Do Good Multnomah was established with a cDo Good Multnomah was established with a commitment to providing camaraderie and dignity for Veterans as well as supportive services and paths towards permanent housing. Originally Do Good was exclusively focused on providing shelter, community-building, and housing navigation for Veterans. Today, Do Good remains Veteran-prioritized and Veteran-preference, but they also recognize that the need in Portland is too great and they use the tactics and expertise they gained from serving Veterans to make an impact on both Veteran and civilians alike. Support and housing services are provided in partnership with the Joint Office of Homeless Services.</br></br>Do Good maintains and runs multiple housing options that include:</br></br>'''Shelters''' : '''Wy’east''' is Portland’s first 24/7 Veteran-priority shelter. It houses 90 male-identifying participants, the majority of whom are Veterans. Participants have access to laundry,</br></br>showers, secure storage for belongings, and a consistent bed each night. Daily homemade meals foster meaningful connections between participants and staff, who stand as guides throughout the housing process, building relationships and promoting a strong sense of community within the shelter.</br></br>'''Downtown Shelter''' Located in the heart of Old Town, the Downtown Shelter is geographically close to numerous peer agencies, resource providers, and transit lines for job access. The space is unique among shelters in Multnomah County in that it welcomes couples, pets, and all gender identities. With nightly scratch-made dinners and showers available 24/7, the Downtown Shelter meets participants where they are in their journey, serving as a transformative stepping stone to regaining self-worth and embarking on sustainable pathways out of homelessness.</br></br>'''Motel Shelters''' Born out of a need for safe space for participants experiencing high vulnerability to COVID-19, Do Good’s Motel Shelters have since evolved to become a successful and effective model of care. Participants have their own rooms with a locked door, weekly professional housekeeping, and daily meals. This creates a strong sense of belonging and nurtures a fertile environment for life building skills.</br></br>'''Roseway''' is the largest motel shelter in Multnomah County, with 110 individualized rooms, a 24/7 food pantry that counteracts food scarcity, and two large, fenced-in areas for pets to roam free.

Participants love the stocked clothing closet, fenced dog run, collective gardens and flower beds, and particularly excellent community BBQs.</br></br>The '''Stark Street Motel''' , located on the border of East Portland and Gresham, offers 40 rooms community gardens, and a large outdoor kitchen setup.

To refer medically vulnerable individuals to VIMo, please call ''971-500-9163'' .</br></br></br>'''Alternative Shelters''' Do Good’s alternative shelters are outdoor villages built with individual shelter pods and shared community spaces like showers and kitchens. With the increased stability and safety of a private pod, as well as support services, housing navigation, and case management, these villages help participants overcome their barriers to permanent housing by building responsible independence in their own spaces while maintaining connection to community.</br></br>The '''Veterans Village''' is operated in partnership with Clackamas County. Since opening in 2018, they have served 99 individual Veterans, 43 of whom have been moved into permanent housing. Currently, the program can support 24 Veterans in individual, gender-inclusive pods. The village has a shared community space, stocked kitchen, bathroom/showers, and individual case managers to address needs and help participants work towards permanent housing.
