Amazing organization here in the Pearl - keeps our community vibrant and functioning!

September Pearl District Recap: cooler days, mild nights, and a hopeful shift on the street. Our professional outreach team was out every day, and while requests for water and medical assistance dropped, service connections held steady or rose. Most encouraging of all, more people were open to hearing about shelter and support.

September by the numbers:
81 meals provided
73 contacts with people experiencing homelessness
64 resource connections
18 tent self-relocations
6 shelter referrals
1 detox referral

Shelter changes near the Pearl:
Northrup Shelter: closed Sept. 18
Navigation Center on Naito: closed
SE Grand Overnight Shelter: open
Oasis Day Center (Broadway & Glisan): open
