Since 1979, the Portland community has trusted Central City Concern to help people create meaningful, long-term change. Every year, we serve more than 13,000 people experiencing or at risk of homelessness with affordable and supportive housing, person-centered health care, addiction recovery and employment assistance. But we can’t do it alone.
We believe our commitment to climate action strengthens, protects and amplifies our mission of ending homelessness. Read about how we’re responding to the climate crisis.
Equity is at the center of our work. See how CCC’s taking action to prioritize anti-racism and racial equity in our organizational values, culture and programs.
Homeless and on heroin, Charlette needed a fresh start. But she didn’t expect much when she landed at CCC’s Blackburn Center. That all changed in a matter of hours. With access to addiction treatment, primary care, a safe place to live and peers to support her — all under one roof — Charlette’s transition into recovery was smoother than she imagined. Having housing and health care in the same place is “huge,” she says. “You saw me — all of me — within the first day.”
Central City Concern is committed to serving our community with connected, equitable health care. This Pride Month we’re highlighting the importance of gender-affirming health care for our transgender and gender expansive patients. CCC’s health care clinics offer hormone therapy and help patients connect with other needed services, including gender-affirming surgeries.
