Tuesday, November 15
12:00-1:00pm
Join us for a free online discussion about homelessness in our community.
All over Portland, folks are talking about a homelessness crisis and what we should do about it. There are a lot of ideas flying around about how to address this crisis, and it's hard to know what the right answer is.

We will explore the following questions:
What is the homelessness crisis?
How did we get here, and just how bad is it?
How do we solve this crisis for good?
What can you do to help?
Solution Salon will be hosted on Zoom. Guests will be turned on mute and can choose to turn video on or off. We'll use the chat feature for questions. The event is free and open to the public, but RSVP is required.
RSVPs are now closed. If you would still like to attend, please email emma@path-home.org.
Family Reunion Nonevent!
THANK YOU!
Thanks to everyone who participated in Path Home’s (formerly PHFS) first Nonevent! So far we have raised $225,000… and counting!
Path Home (formerly PHFS) serves more than 400 families made up of 1200 kids and parents each year. The average age of a person in shelter is ten years old, and 58% of our total clients are children.
Every child should have a safe, warm place to sleep at night. Please give so we can continue our critical work helping families gain and retain permanent housing.
Each day we shared a new video highlighting one of our programs. Check them out below!
In the Outreach program, families experiencing homelessness, who oftentimes are living in tents or in their cars, get help accessing critical shelter and re-housing resources.
Family Village was the first shelter in Oregon to feature trauma-informed design and architecture. It is a place for families to heal through the crisis of homelessness and prepare for permanent housing.
Nearly 90% of the families in the housing program maintain their housing long-term. Listen to Housing Specialist, Ermajean, to find out what makes our program so successful.
The Prevention Program keeps families in their homes, so they never have to experience homelessness with their kids.
Family Reunion Nonevent!
October 10th-14th
Each day this week, we’ll release a new video at 12pm with behind-the-scenes footage from Family Village featuring heartwarming stories from staff and families. Each day we'll feature a new program at PHFS.
Follow our social media and website, and watch for emails with exciting content, an online auction, raffles, prize drawings, and more!
