Portland Homeless Family Solutions (PHFS) empowers homeless families with children to get back into housing and to stay there long-term. We accomplish our work through four programs:Housing First ProgramFamilies experiencing homelessness move back into housing as quickly as possible. We provide rent assistance and case management for 6-12 months to help families keep their housing long-term. Homelessness PreventionFamilies with a 72-hour eviction notice get to keep their housing. We pay security deposits, moving costs, or back rent for families.ShelterFamilies have a safe, warm place to sleep every night of the year. We have all the comforts of home – private sleeping space, food, showers, laundry, computers, and clothing. We rely on a team of over 1,000 volunteers to help provide supportive, compassionate services. Life Lab Skills TrainingFamilies take evidence-based classes to learn new skills they can use to get and keep housing. Our classes include Incredible Years Parenting, Rent Well Tenant Education, and the ARISE Life Skills Curriculum.
