Oregon Harbor of Hope
Creating safe harbors and a bridge to stability for people living on the streets.
Our Mission
We are committed to empowering individuals whose life challenges have resulted in them living on the streets by providing guidance, promoting personal connections, driving collaboration, and delivering impactful solutions. Through this work, we strive to restore individual hope and dignity, foster healing, build resilience and create lasting change for our community.
We are dedicated to supporting our homeless neighbors in gaining access to safe, humane places to dwell and the essential services they need, not just to survive, but to reach stability and achieve long term well being.
Recognizing that every individual's journey is unique, we address the complex intersections of mental health, substance use, criminal justice involvement, and poverty with compassion, innovation, and strategic partnerships.
Our Approach
Identify
Identify effective programs that successfully reduce homelessness and its root causes.
Incubate
Incubate promising initiatives, transforming them into self-sustaining nonprofits.
Initiate
Initiate collaboration among nonprofits, community leaders, influencers, volunteers, and citizens dedicated to addressing homelessness, substance abuse, criminality, and poverty.
Inform
Inform the public, private, and nonprofit sectors about the nature of comprehensive approaches to successfully ending homelessness, empowering them to take meaningful action.
Prevention
Tackle the root causes of homelessness, poverty, substance abuse, and criminal behavior by implementing long-term, strategic interventions. Focus on strengthening families, enhancing access to education and job opportunities, improving mental health services, and promoting affordable housing. By addressing these foundational issues, we can build stronger, more resilient communities and create sustainable pathways that lead individuals away from crisis and toward lasting stability.
Outreach
Take proactive steps to reach out to individuals who are struggling and may be disconnected from traditional systems of care. Through compassionate, consistent engagement, build meaningful relationships rooted in trust and dignity. Offer immediate support—such as food, shelter, or medical attention—while also guiding individuals toward long-term services like housing, counseling, and rehabilitation. Effective outreach ensures no one is left behind and that every person has a chance to improve their quality of life.
