About

Fill out a short form, or call 311, and a City Street Outreach worker tries to find you where you are staying, usually within 30 days. Outreach workers refer people into the City's pod villages and overnight shelters, including SW Naito Village, which focuses on LGBTQIA2S+ people. This is not a waitlist and does not promise a bed. If you move, submit a new request with your new location.

Eligibility

Adults 18+ living outside in the City of Portland.
