Path Home's mission is to empower homeless families with children to get back into housing – and stay there. Path Home operates four main programs: - __Economic Empowerment:__ Worldwide research shows the fastest way to end poverty for people is by giving people cash and letting them manage their household expenses. Path Home is engaging in a cash transfer pilot project where families receive $575 cash once a month for two years. - __Homeless Prevention:__ Families who are about to lose their housing get to keep their housing and never have to experience homelessness in the first place. - __Rapid Re-Housing:__ Families experiencing homelessness move back into housing as quickly as possible and receive case management and financial support to keep their housing. 88% of families keep housing long term. - __Family Village:__ An emergency shelter for up to 17 families with children at a time (60-80 people); Family Village is the first shelter of its kind in Oregon designed using trauma informed design and architecture, which aims to build dignity, restore power, and promote autonomy.
On a daily basis, Path Home volunteers contribute to that sense of community for families. The purpose of the Volunteer Program is to help Path Home accomplish and enhance our mission. We offer meaningful opportunities for community members to join us in our work. We are currently accepting new volunteers for the following positions: Turnover Team, Grounds Crew, Meal Provider, Sack Lunches, Kitchen Helper, and Kids Club.
