Janus Youth Access Center

The single point-of-entry for youth ages 16 to 24 who are experiencing homelessness in Multnomah County and seeking services through Portland’s Homeless Youth Continuum, the Access Center is a mobile program that engages with youth every day of the year to determine eligibility, provide immediate crisis support and access to a wide array of community services. Youth seeking services have immediate access to basic needs and safe shelter off the streets. Screenings can be accommodated 365 days of the year between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm by calling to schedule a time to meet with a Youth Specialist at 503-432-3986.

Once individuals are screened into the HYC, a referral can be made to our program. Referrals can be sent by a service provider or participants may self-refer.
