Move-In Multnomah

One of the biggest obstacles people face when working to end their homelessness is finding a landlord who’s willing to rent to them. The Joint Office of Homeless Service in Portland, Oregon and its community partners are always trying to innovate new ways to bridge that gap and help more people than ever end their homelessness for good. That’s where Move-In Multnomah comes in. Move-In Multnomah is a new program, led by the Joint Office, that offers incentives and dedicated support to landlords willing to make housing units available to people coming out of homelessness. It’s an expansion, and an acceleration, of work already under way in this community, helping thousands of our neighbors into homes of their own every year. To introduce this program, we created a series of videos highlighting different members of the community. Whether it be formerly houseless individuals, landlords, real estate developers, or case workers, we focused on everyone’s unique stories to understand the importance of the Move-In Multnomah initiative.
