Central City Concern

Central City Concern (CCC) serves single adults and families in the Portland metro area impacted by homelessness, poverty and addictions. We meet our mission of providing comprehensive solutions to ending homelessness and achieving self-sufficiency through innovative, outcome-based strategies that support personal and community transformation. Founded in 1979, CCC has developed a comprehensive continuum of affordable housing options integrated with direct social services including health care, substance use disorder treatment services and employment. Today, we serve 14,000 people annually with: • Direct access to housing which supports lifestyle change. • Integrated health care services that are highly effective in engaging people who are often alienated from mainstream systems. • Attainment of income through employment or accessing benefits. • The development of peer relationships that nurture and support personal transformation and recovery.
