Housing

Helping people secure – and retain – permanent housing is the ultimate goal of our work.

We do this by placing people into rental apartments throughout the Portland metro area, and by operating three buildings for those moving from homelessness to housing.

We provide short- and long-term support for participants to rent housing units throughout the metro area. During the past year alone, we helped more than 900 people secure housing.

But our work doesn't end there. We remain engaged, providing the follow-up services critical to successful placements and ensuring that once housed, people stay housed.

Types of Housing

  • The Rapid Rehousing program is a short-term rental assistance program which is funded though a variety of grants to assist participants in obtaining stable housing. This program assists with move-in costs, monthly rent, utilities, and supportive services as needed. Program participants are provided housing case management services and can connect with an Income Development Specialist during their time in the program.

  • The Permanent Supportive Housing program is a long-term housing program to help individuals and families who are experiencing chronic homelessness and those with disabilities. This type of housing combines affordable living spaces with access to support services, such as healthcare, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, and job training. Permanent Support Housing provides stability and support, enabling participants to live more independently and improve their quality of life. This type of housing addresses both housing needs and the underlying issues that contribute to homelessness.

Are You Eligible For Permanent Supportive Housing?

If you currently reside in Multnomah County, are chronically homeless (more than one year), and suffer from a disabling condition, then you are eligible to be assessed by our Coordinated Housing Access Team.

Because of Transition Projects and my caseworker, I have a home to call my own. You’re a godsend. I couldn’t have done this without you.
