Path Home
Path Home empowers families with children to get back into housing and stay there. Path Home offers programs from crisis to stability: Outreach - families experiencing homelessness, who oftentimes are living in tents or in their cars, get help accessing critical shelter and re-housing resources. Family Village – A shelter where 17 families with kids stay at a time in individual, private bedrooms. The first shelter in Oregon with trauma-informed design & architecture, our shelter provides opportunities for playing, healing, and rebuilding after homelessness, and offers support to help families move back into stable housing. Rapid Re-Housing – Families experiencing homelessness move back into housing. PHFS provides rent assistance, case management, and retention services to help families stay housed. Families create action plans to increase their financial stability, navigate community resources, access medical, mental health, and recovery care, and gain educational and employment opportunities. 88% of families keep their housing long-term. Homeless Prevention – Families at risk of eviction get help keeping their housing with flexible and responsive assistance. PHFS provides rent and utility support for families facing emergencies which may otherwise lead them to homelessness. Basic Income Guarantee – our newest program, PHFS provides $575 cash to families each month for two years. Our goal is that families will increase financial security, reduce debt, have more time to spend with family, and increase their joy and wellness. This cash transfer pilot project is based on worldwide research that shows the fastest way to end poverty is by giving people cash and letting them choose how to use it.
