Operates shelters, pods, bridge housing; GPD beds for veterans, permanent housing programs +
Do 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.
Do Good maintains and runs multiple housing options that include:
'''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,
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.
'''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.
'''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.
'''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. A large, covered outdoor community space allows participants to bond with each other and build rapport.
'''Barbur''' , their shelter program in SW Portland, offers 40 rooms of stability on a quiet, peaceful lot full of trees and grass. Participants love the stocked clothing closet, fenced dog run, collective gardens and flower beds, and particularly excellent community BBQs.
The '''Stark Street Motel''' , located on the border of East Portland and Gresham, offers 40 rooms community gardens, and a large outdoor kitchen setup. The location is right on several transit lines, and has a very high walkability score.
'''NE 82nd Ave Voluntary Isolation Motel''' Do Good’s Voluntary Isolation Motel (VIMo) is the only shelter in Multnomah County offering medically-isolated rooms for up to two weeks for contagious illness, as well as respite care for those coming out of medical trauma. Breakfast and dinner are served daily. Couples are welcome, as well as one pet per person. To refer medically vulnerable individuals to VIMo, please call ''971-500-9163'' .
'''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.
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. The greater Veteran-supporting community keep the food pantry stocked. They’ve also donated a gazebo for outdoor meeting space, installed a putting green, and supplied a chicken/duck coop, energizing the village and keeping the space feeling alive and accessible. To be referred to Vets Village, visit the ''Clackamas County Coordinated Housing Access'' .
'''St Johns Village''' offers 19 individual pods with shared community space, showers, laundry, security features, and a well-outfitted community kitchen. It sits on land leased from neighboring St. Johns Church, and the outdoor space boasts bike storage, a rain garden, and a community garden built in collaboration with the Veterans of VetRest.
'''Permanent Affordable Housing'''
Do Good supports four permanent affordable housing programs:
'''Findley Commons''' is a 35-unit Veteran apartment complex in SE Portland, developed out of the parking lot of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church. It offers 20 one-bedroom units and 15 Single Room Occupancy units, all of which are fully furnished. The one-bedroom units are subsidized and reserved for Veterans referred by ''HUD-VASH'' . The SRO units are subsidized by the ''Regional Long-term Rent Assistance program'' and reserved for Veterans referred by the ''Veteran Coordinated Access System'' . In addition to on-site property management and Do Good–provided supportive services, residents at Findley have access to an on-site food pantry, community room, shared garden space, an outdoor patio, and laundry.
'''Clayton Mohr Commons''' is a 24-unit Veteran apartment complex located in Oregon City. It offers a mix of studios and 1-2 bedroom units, and was developed to support
Veteran households with and without children. All units are subsidized by and reserved for Veterans referred by HUD-VASH.

The '''Paul Knauls Building''' offers 25x one-bedroom units subsidized by and reserved for Veterans referred by HUD-VASH, as well as 6x units subsidized by Oregon Housing and Community Services’s PSH program and reserved for Veterans referred by the ''Veteran Coordinated Access System'' . It offers laundry services, indoor bicycle storage, energy & water efficient appliances, and a community room for programs and events.
'''Portsmouth Commons''' is a pilot project from the community of Portsmouth Union Church (PUC) that innovated a new model for faith-based organizations to convert underutilized property into quality affordable housing for underserved populations. Portsmouth Commons offers 20x one- and two-bedroom units, primarily dedicated to serving Veterans from underserved communities. Do Good provides on-site resident services to Portsmouth residents 3 days a week, offering community building opportunities, connection to community resources, and assistance with housing retention. In addition to part-time on-site property management and Do Good’s resident services, residents will have access to a community room, elevator, secure bike storage, and laundry.
Do Good’s '''Rapid Rehousing & Rent Assistance''' includes:
* identifying housing that meets individual needs so that their housing remains sustainable
* relational and financial support during the move-in process and up to 24 months
* case management, peer support, and mental health support after moving that creates stability in housing. Rent assistance is provided through the ''Metro'' ''Supportive Housing Services'' bond.
Do Good’s '''Mobile Supportive Services (MSS) Team''' supports their participants as they transition from houselessness and further into independence. The process is squarely aimed at achieving stability in housing, income, health, and well-being, while also encouraging autonomy and self-determination. In this model of wrap-around support, collaborative specialist teams physically travel to newly re-housed individuals, eliminating the barriers of access and transportation. Once on site, they work collaboratively with our participants, empowering them as they accomplish their goals.
A social worker offers mental health support and individualized counseling throughout the process.
'''Behavioral Health Resource Center''' , ''333 SW Park Ave, Downtown Portland'' . Do Good Multnomah’s role is to operate a total of 52 beds across the 3rd and 4th floors to serve people experiencing homelessness and continue along their path to permanent housing. The 3rd floor holds a congregate shelter featuring 33 beds and 24-hour support services.
