Impact NW Homelessness Prevention Strategy
We envision a future where housing is a human right and we will work to lead human rights advocacy by helping to create positive systemic change. Homelessness and housing insecurity are consequences of structural forces that keep people oppressed, in poverty and facing homelessness.
At Impact NW, we created a Homelessness Prevention Plan as a document on how we see our role in addressing the short and long term solutions to homelessness.
Join the Impact NW Advocacy Group
We believe in Portland, and we know that you do too! Impact NW is gathering supporters around our mission to prevent homelessness. In line with our advocacy efforts, we are convening an Impact NW Advocacy workgroup to share information, knowledge, and create action around preventing homelessness in the Portland area.
