On this episode of Out of the Streets of Portland, we bring you
a panel discussion at Southeast Uplift, which is a coalition of
southeast Portland neighborhood associations. The panel features
people involved in creating micro-villages in neighborhoods in
northeast and southeast Portland.
A recent study by the Homelessness Research and Action Center at
Portland State University on Alternative
Shelters found that alternative, village-style shelters provide
better outcomes for people experiencing homelessness than
traditional, congregate shelters.
More information on alternative shelters supported by the Joint Office of Homeless Services can be found on the JOHS website.
This podcast is produced by the Joint Office of Homeless Services, a Multnomah County department with funding from the County, the City of Portland, Metro, and the state and federal governments to house, shelter, and provide street outreach, navigation, employment assistance, assistance obtaining social security income, and case management to people experiencing homelessness in our community.
