Providing comprehensive solutions to ending homelessness and achieving self-sufficiency.
About us
Central City Concern is ending homelessness by treating the whole person, as a person. Each year, nearly 16,000 people turn to us for compassionate support to become self-sufficient and productive. The factors that contribute to homelessness are complex. A web of structural weaknesses and individual circumstances surrounds our clients, leaving them vulnerable at many points in their lives. We draw on more than 40 years of front-line experience to provide the help people need when they need it most. CCC’s approach addresses both the systemic drivers of homelessness and the individual factors that can reinforce it. We help our clients overcome barriers such as lack of affordable housing, health care and living-wage jobs, systemic racism, mental health challenges, chronic health conditions, substance use disorders, and time spent in the justice system. And everything we do rests on our foundational belief in the restorative power of human connection and dignity. Empowered by our staff, donors, partners and volunteers, we’re creating a proven solution for our community — one person at a time.

As part of the City of Portland's Earth Day event, the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund (PCEF) hosted an EV tailgate to kick off their new E-Bike Rebate Program, and CCC was invited to showcase a portion of our electrified fleet! Staff from our Climate Action, Clean Start, and Fleet teams had a fantastic time connecting with attendees and sharing more about our climate action work.

CCC and New Narrative recently penned an op-ed about the Portland City Council’s vote last week regarding the Portland Housing Bureau’s “found” dollars. The Council prioritized future “social housing” projects—years away from being built—over urgently needed preservation of existing affordable housing. While the added $8.8 million for preservation is positive, it falls far short of the estimated $285 million needed to stabilize at-risk properties in the region. Given the scale and immediacy of the need, the Council’s approach misses the mark.
