About

Good Circumstance is a Portland day center and non-lending library offering a calm, judgment-free space for women, including trans and gender-expansive people, with priority for those who are unhoused. You can read, use free computers and internet, sit quietly or connect with others, join community classes, and get walk-in peer listening and co-regulation from trained staff and volunteers. There is also a pool table, piano, and art supplies. Open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, at 24 NW 2nd Ave in Portland.
