Description
Catholic Charities, in cooperation with its member agency, Caritas Housing, offers a number of housing and shelter solutions for those most in need, ranging from transitional housing initiatives in urban Portland to affordable permanent housing in Sandy. Catholic Charities of Portland offers the following programs related to housing:
Transitional Housing for Homeless Women Program : helps homeless women, without children, locate permanent housing. Participants can drop by the Catholic Charities office between 10: a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to use laundry facilities and take showers.
Family Support Program : offers low-cost counseling to individuals and couples. The counseling is covered by Share Oregon or is on a sliding scale. They have case
managers, offer referrals to other agencies, and have resources for pregnant women and those with children under age 5.
Family Success Program : offers free financial workshops, coaching, and Rent Well classes.
Immigration Legal Services : provides immigration attorneys at a reduced rate.
Kenton Women’s Village : a collaborative one-year pilot project made up of 14 sleeping pods (not larger than 8 by 12 feet), designed and built in late 2016 as part of the POD (Partners on Dwelling) Initiative, bringing together a citywide coalition of architects, housing advocates, and houseless individuals. A fully operational kitchen and shower facilities, installed in customized shipping containers, have been added to the site, with water delivery and garbage service being provided. A community garden allows residents and neighbors to collaborate and interact as the women make the village their home.
Refugee Resettlement Program : assists refugees in obtaining benefits and provides them with 8 months of housing.
