Portland is in crisis. People on our streets are hurting, and we need to act NOW.

At Shelter Now we believe that all people have the right to a community, beginning with a place to sleep that is safe and secure, where they can establish a footing to face the demands of daily life. Shelter Now is determined to build community and governmental programs to ensure services, sanitation and shelter options to those in need.
