Hope and Healing
Of the estimated 2,000 youth experiencing homelessness in Portland/Multnomah County, the majority come from the greater metropolitan area and throughout Oregon. Youth end up on the street for multiple reasons: Family poverty, violence, mental and physical illness in their families, unemployment, domestic violence, and abuse are just some of the contributing factors. Other youth simply find themselves abandoned by their family units.
Youth experiencing homelessness are forced to be independent on average a full decade before their housed peers.
Everyone has a dream. For a young adult experiencing homelessness, that dream simply may be to have a safe, warm place to sleep. Or it may be to find a job. Others want to go to college, feeling it is their best chance at long-term stability. Outside In is committed to making these dreams a reality.
We know young people need trusting adults to thrive.
