Empowering families with children to get back into housing and stay there.
About us
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.

🌟 Help Path Home spread the word about trauma-informed design at SXSW! 🌟 Vote for Brandi Tuck and Jessica Helgerson's session proposal for SXSW’s Panel Picker! This discussion, led by design expert Jessica Helgerson and our very own Brandi Tuck, will explore how the spaces we inhabit can either contribute to our stress or help us heal.

Now we want to advocate for trauma informed design in as many spaces as possible to help even more people benefit from this proven model! Voting is now open, and your support can bring this important topic to the stage. Help us spread the word that spaces matter and get more people creating spaces that nurture wellbeing. 🗳️ https://lnkd.in/g6zHbYzK

We are excited to be the recipient of a $250,000 Community Benefit Initiative Grant from Trillium Community Health Plan! This grant will enable Path Home to expand the homelessness prevention program and support for the Portland community. The Prevention Program partners with families who have an eviction notice in hand to keep them from ever losing their homes. By stopping homelessness before it ever begins, families and their children never have to experience the trauma or crisis of losing their homes. Providing an upstream solution both avoids that emotional damage and is our most cost effective program, at an average cost of under $3,000 per family. Sign up for our newsletter to learn more or comment with your questions!

In case you missed it, The New York Times’ recent Opinion piece “A Life Without a Home” is a comprehensive look at the many causes of homelessness, as told by those who know it best - people experiencing it. A stark reminder that there are as many causes as there are unhoused people. As one interviewee implored: ‘[t]alk to us about our wants and needs. Talk to us like adults. Like human beings.’ Amplifying their often overlooked voices, this article reminds us that we cannot hope to solve this issue without centering their unique needs. “If you’re not talking to the people you’re serving, you’re not serving them.” The article reminds us that regardless of why or how people are experiencing homelessness, “it is critical to treat people in their situation with dignity and empathy.” At Path Home, building dignity, restoring power, and promoting autonomy is central to our approach. You can learn more about our trauma informed care on our website or by signing up for our newsletter!
