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, more than 13,000 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.

Shoutout to KEEN for donating hundreds of brand-new shirts to our Recycling and Reuse Operations Center (the ROC)! Donations like these are crucial for the ROC. Each year, thousands of clients and residents enter CCC services with few possessions. Usable clothing and household items, including abandoned property and in-kind donations, are processed at the ROC. CCC clients can directly access needed items, while others are distributed to CCC programs, clothing closets, and partner nonprofits. #endhomelessness #donation #thankyouforyoursupport #KEEN #KEENPortland

🌞✨ When the power goes out in Southeast Portland, the Crescent Court Apartments community room is a safe haven for residents, thanks to solar panels and battery storage backup. This 138-unit affordable housing community, developed by Related Northwest and Central City Concern, provides homes for families with low incomes and essential onsite services. Plus, the solar panels save over $25,000 annually on electricity costs! Discover how energy-smart design and community partnerships are making a difference in our latest blog! 👇

On July 10th, CCC celebrated our most recent class of Community Volunteer Corps (CVC) graduates! We cannot express how proud we are of each individual during these special graduation ceremonies. Here’s some advice from our grads: “Your dreams can come true if you get yourself clean and keep yourself focused.” “I thought CVC was the end of this journey but really it’s just the beginning.” “Keep going, shoot for the stars, nothing is stopping you but you.” Congratulations and we look forward to seeing what you do next! #endhomelessness #community #graduate #recoveryjourney #volunteer
