50 Years of Service
For over 50 years, Transition Projects has delivered life-saving and life-changing assistance to some of Portland’s most vulnerable residents. Whether by helping a homeless veteran and her family find housing, sheltering hundreds of people each night with nowhere else to turn, or opening new pathways to employment, Transition Projects represents an invaluable part of Portland’s social fabric.
Our Work in Action
Our team works to engage folks at all levels of their journey from homelessness to housing. Whether it's getting critical support to our unhoused neighbors on the street, providing shelter for folks to reset and set their sights on housing, or bringing online innovative, deeply affordable housing solutions, we meet and support the many needs of the community we serve.
Our Outreach Team
Our team works to provide pathways to housing by engaging individuals living on the street to offer support and resources.
Jennifer's Story
When Jennifer needed support and time to heal, she found the help she needed at Jean's Place, one of our shelters for women.
Innovative Housing Solutions
Housing at Argyle Gardens, our 72-unit deeply affordable co-housing complex allows individuals to regain stability and independence.
Help us operate life-saving shelters when the weather becomes hazardous for our unhoused neighbors.

With the help of volunteers, we operate life-saving shelters when the weather becomes hazardous to assure that people have a safe, dry place to sleep.

Host a donation drive to gather coats and warm clothing for our neighbors in need. This year, we've even introduced a digital drive option so you can mobilize your network remotely.

Cook and drop off a meal for our neighbors in shelter this holiday season with your neighbors, your faith-based community, or as part of our new potluck meal team.
Each year, we assist more than 10,000 people experiencing homelessness. In any given year, we help place more than 1,000 people into affordable housing - and then support them in retaining that housing.
