Dan lost his room through a series of unfortunate events. He carried a tent, tarp, and all of his belongings neatly folded with him while he ate lunch at Blanchet House so they wouldn't be stolen. 2,399 single adult men are unsheltered in Portland according to the 2019 PIT count.

‼ @transitionpro's Veteran Services team needs your help! Many veterans in our community experiencing homelessness are not currently connected to our services. Please take a moment to share this post to increase awareness about the support available to those who have served.

Proud of the work that @multco/@multcohealth are doing with our partners — from vaccinating at shelters to sharing information among peers, and more — to break down barriers and make vaccines more accessible to our neighbors experiencing homelessness. opb.org/article/2021/0…

On this #VeteransDay2020, local veterans experiencing homelessness are getting a face-to-face visit & a delivery of needed supplies, courtesy of @transitionpro. That includes “thank you” notes from people in #PDX 🇺🇸🙏

Looking for a way to make a difference in our community beyond the ballot box? As winter approaches, we need more volunteers than ever before to help with Severe Weather Shelters during dangerously cold nights.

Please consider signing up to be trained and volunteer in a severe weather shelter this winter!

None of us is a lost cause. Ever. This is why this work matters. This is why every single neighbor we reach and help into housing matters. It means holding out a hand that's always waiting, and never giving up on someone. Thank you for sharing, @DoGoodMultnomah!

.@multco extended eviction moratorium a week before state ban is set to expire. Less generous federal ban in place through 2020. Renters barely holding on: @Portland_State @catoregon show 1 in 3 renters falling behind & half reducing food to pay rent pdx.edu/homelessness/h…

Remember: there is always hope. If you're having trouble coping, call the @MultCo Mental Health Call Center at 503-988-4888. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our experts are here to help: multco.us/behavioral-hea…

MultCo has extended its local eviction moratorium through January 8, 2021. This is necessary but not sufficient; rent is eventually going to come due, & we need the fed'l govt to step in w/massive amounts of rent assistance. multco.us/multnomah-coun…

- Starting now, @ahfe_multco has opened add'l shelter capacity, which will be open 24 hours/day as long as air quality is hazardous. - Outreach teams are working to connect with people without shelter. - If you're seeking shelter for yourself or someone you know, call 211 first.

Please read this statement about the C3PO camp villages, supported by a coalition that includes Street Roots. These communities afford safety & health to some unhoused people — peace of mind they most certainly deserve. We must be vigilant when hate is aimed at unhoused people.

There's apparently a video circulating claiming that our outdoor emergency homeless shelters are "antifa camps". This falsehood is both ludicrous and appalling. See below for the facts.

This camp shelter has been providing safety and stability for our neighbors without homes throughout the public health crisis. For someone to target vulnerable people to advance a ludicrous conspiracy isn't just wrong — it's sickening and dangerous. apnews.com/afs:Content:93…

For decades, Genny Nelson, co-founder of Sisters of the Road, practiced compassion, listened deeply and honored the inherent dignity of each person she met. She showed our community what we can be. My deepest condolences to her loved ones and all who carry her spirit and legacy.

The Equal Access Rule is critical to ensuring safe access to shelter for transgender people experiencing homelessness. The Administration is trying to undermine it. We need your help to protect it. #HousingSavesLives Click here to take action: housingsaveslives.com

I’m very sad to get the news about the passing of the great community organizer #GennyNelson. Genny was a friend to the poor & a mentor to so many ppl on the streets, organizers, agitators & policy makers. Genny’s spirit & advocacy lives on in so many people doing the work. ❤️

🚨This is the moment when pressure, stakes and consequences are highest & it either leads to BREAKTHROUGH or everything falls apart. I’m betting breakthrough. We’re closer than we’ve ever been to #RentReliefNow KEEP CALLING! nlihc.secure.force.com/actions/TakeAc…
