Organizations Filed Purposes:
To empower homeless families with children to get back into housing - and to stay there.
Housing First Program - PHFS helps families experiencing homelessness move quickly back into homes by helping families pay security deposits and 12-24 months of rent assistance. We also provide case management for 24 months to help families create action plans, balance their budget, connect to their new community, increase their income by getting jobs and education, and learn new skills they use to keep housing. When the Covid-19 pandemic began, our housing program was able to quickly move to being fully remote and continued to support families in finding permanent housing despite the pandemic. This program served 637 people from 199 families during the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Emergency Shelter - Family Village - PHFS provides shelter for homeless families with children. Family Village is the first trauma-informed shelter for homeless families with children in Oregon. The shelter houses 25 families with children every night of the year and each family has their own private bedroom with real beds plus access to a full service kitchen, dining room, a library, computer lab, classroom, laundry room, kids playground, vegetable garden, basketball court and dog walk area. The trauma informed design focuses on building dignity, restoring power, and promoting autonomy and have been shown to help families heal from the crisis and stress of homelessness so they can actually make the kind of change they want to see in their lives. In this fiscal year the entity served 51 families (173 individuals). By working with Multnomah County Public Health to create Covid-19 protocols for Family Village, the shelter was kept Covid-19 free. The families at Family Village work with a housing specialist to help them transition to housing. They also participate in classes on life skills including budgeting, parenting, tenant education and employment. On average families stayed 48 days in shelter before transitioning to permanent housing.
Prevention Program - PHFS helps families with children prevent their homelessness in the first place by helping them keep housing. These families are able to stay in their communities where the kids can stay in school and the parents can remain near their jobs. PHFS pays back rent and utilities for families during times of emergency, with an average investment per family of only $1,209. This program served 159 people from 78 families during the 2019-2020 fiscal year. PHFS' Prevention Program also quickly pivoted to entirely remote service during the Covid-19 pandemic and actually expanded to provide $500 cash assistance to an additional 175 families who had lost income due to the pandemic.
