Reclaiming Your Sense of Belonging

For over 53 years, Transition Projects has provided life-saving and life-changing services for people experiencing homelessness in Portland, Oregon.  They are all about helping people transition from homelessness to housing.  As a leader in transitioning people from homelessness and living on the streets into housing in Portland, Oregon, Transition Projects operates and manages ten unique locations as well as facilitates hundreds of apartment placements each year, throughout the Portland Metropolitan area. The agency offers programs, resources, and tools to individuals through access to social services including caseworkers, healthcare, mentorship, and housing.The Core Beliefs of Transition Projects are that housing is a human right; everyone should have access to shelter, food, and safety; people are experts in their own lives and best able to determine their needs; homelessness and the systems driving homelessness create deep personal and collective trauma; and to end homelessness, the community will need to address its drivers, including economic inequality, institutional racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of discrimination.
