Guides & links

The full 126-page Portland resource guide maintained by the BHRC program coordinators at The Peer Company — the source this app is built from.

Portland's pocket-sized street resource guide (tri-county): food, shelter, health, hygiene. Printed twice a year (Jun–Nov / Dec–May); the online version was discontinued in 2025, so the paper copy is the current one. Free pickup: Street Roots, 281 W Burnside St — Mon/Thu/Sat 8:30am–12pm, Wed 8am–2pm, Fri 8:30am–2pm. guide@streetroots.org

Statewide 24/7 help line and searchable directory — shelter, food, warming/cooling shelters, rent help, health. Free interpreters.

Regularly-updated lists: market-rate & tax-credit apartments, open Section 8 waitlists, project-based vouchers, and current men's / women's / DV shelter lists (English & Spanish).

County shelter, outreach, and housing programs; coordinated access and severe-weather info.

City overnight shelters, alternative shelters, and Safe Rest Villages — locations, hours, and check-in details.
