All over Portland, folks are talking about a homelessness crisis and what we should do about it. There are a lot of ideas flying around about how to address this crisis, and it's hard to know what the right answer is.

Join us for a Solution Salon to explore this crisis and potential solutions. You'll be able to ask questions about this challenging issue and engage in dialogue about what you can do to help.

We will explore the following questions:

• What is the homelessness crisis?

• How did we get here, and just how bad is it?

• How do we solve this crisis for good?

• What can you do to help?

Solution Salon will be hosted on Zoom. Guests will be turned on mute and can choose to turn video on or off. We'll use the chat feature for questions. The event is free and open to the public but RSVP is required. RSVP early to guarantee your spot!

RSVPs for Solution Salon are closed. Please email emma@pdxhfs.org to get on the waitlist.

Thank you!

We exceeded our fundraising goal, raising over $240,000!

Thank you to everyone who watched the event, bid in the auction, and gave generously. We truly felt like we had families supporting families more than ever before.

If you were moved by the stories of resilient families, please share the recording with your friends and families so more people can learn about the important work happening at PHFS.

Thank you to our amazing sponsors!
