Description
CCC operates a number of housing programs in Portland, including sober living. All transitional housing must be accessed through a specific CCC program or a partner agency. CCC clients in need of transitional housing should check with their case manager. They can also stop in or call at the following address:
- Central City Concern (CCC) Housing Office
- 523 NW Everett Street Portland, Oregon 97209
- Office hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
- Phone: (503) 525-8483 Fax: (503) 228-1696
The Housing Office manages permanent housing, both subsidized and fair market. Virtually all units are single room occupancy (SRO) – one person may live in the unit. SRO units may have communal bathrooms/showers and/or kitchen facilities. Fair market housing receives no subsidies and is for individuals who have sufficient income to pay their own rent. Subsidized Section 8 housing is offered on a waitlist basis. CCC does not operate emergency housing available on an urgent basis. For fair market housing, CCC maintains an "interested parties" list.
Many CCC housing units are Alcohol & Drug-Free Community Housing (ADFC) that requires a commitment to a clean and sober lifestyle.
Supportive Housing combines accessible, affordable housing AND the supportive services needed to meet the diverse nature and complex needs of those who are homeless. People in need of a supportive housing arrangement may choose Alcohol and Drug Free Community housing (ADFC) or housing without such designation.
CCC’s transitional housing units are designed for people who are newly engaged in treatment and recovery, recently released from incarceration, or who have very recently
become homeless. This short-term housing, combined with intensive case management, provides stability and support. Individuals may only access transitional housing via an active CCC program or through a referral from a community partner. Clients are typically in transitional housing for 4-9 months. During this time, CCC assists them in finding permanent housing through housing placement services, rent support, and other services. They may choose to transition into other CCC housing.
CCC also provides transitional housing and employment development serves to Veterans through the Veterans Grant & Per Diem program. The program serves up to 50 men and 22 women at any one time. Contact the Veterans' Office at 503-688-5098
CCC maintains 148 Family Housing units where family mentors teach adults how to resume their roles as effective parents, how to maintain a strong program of recovery, and how to access the various ongoing supports they will need to become fully self- sufficient.
In a typical year, more than 1,300 people begin their recovery from homelessness in CCC's secure and stable transitional housing. CCC partners with these treatment agencies to bring effective solutions to families in need:
