Description
The United States Mission is a non-profit, interdenominational organization that operates long-term, transitional facilities in a number of cities including Portland. Residents must be over 18 and willing and able to work. They do not accept sex offenders or those with ongoing medical or mental health issues. Each applicant is approved on a case by case basis. Some of their facilities have space for both men and women, while others are for men only.
Residents receive a shared room, meals, and the amenities of living in a residential setting. They are required to participate in the Mission self-help work program, performing all the tasks necessary to operate their program and facilities. This includes office work, cooking, driving, as well as administration and engagement as Field Emissaries who represent the Mission to the public by means of door-to-door solicitation. The average stay is around three months, but residents may remain longer if needed.
