Chris Daggett, a lifelong Bend resident, found himself homeless, a situation he never imagined. His experience changed his perspective, revealing that those with the least often give the most. The community remains the same, but living costs have risen. 📰 Source: OPB

The mission of Street Books is simple: providing literature to unhoused people in Portland. The impact of the organization goes beyond books–it’s an entry point to form relationships with people who are often kept at the margins of society. Learn more: katu.com/news/city-in-crisis…

We’re grateful to live in a community that cares and shows up for each other in times of need. We want to take a moment to applaud the organizations and volunteers that stood up eight emergency shelters to protect hundreds of people from the snowstorm Oregon last week.

Families with children are among the "hidden homeless" that our network of providers work hard every day to support to achieve stable housing. Front line workers like Yovana Benancio, featured in this @opb article, are at the heart of this essential work: ow.ly/6ZFt50USFBU
