Family Shelter Opens in Former Strip Club
C ontinued from p age 5
ting our community like a punch in the
face.”
Multnomah County Chair Deborah
Kafoury echoed Miller’s sentiments,
“Our community prides itself on prior-
itizing our children and families,” she
said. “But the fact that we so desper-
ately need these temporary shelter beds
in the irst place leaves me devastated.”
Kafoury said Multnomah County
had 3,000 school-aged children expe-
rience homelessness in 2014.
“I think it’s very important to rec-
ognize that many of the families that
will ind shelter here are experienc-
ing the trauma of homelessness for
the very irst time,” she said. “These
are our neighbors, our relatives, our
co-workers, our friends. All of them
are sleeping at the shelter because
they cannot ind an affordable place
to live.”
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales and
Portland City Commissioner Dan
Saltzman, who oversees the Portland
Housing Bureau, were also on hand to
help open the Family Center, and not-
ed that more affordable housing needs
to be built if we are going to end fami-
ly homelessness in our community.
Human Solutions relies on dona-
tions to feed families at the center and
keep the shelves stocked with basic
necessities such as blankets, towels,
pillows, toiletries and diapers. Din-
ner is served each night at 7 p.m., and
there is an urgent need for hot meals.
The Human Solutions contact for
volunteers and donations is Outreach
Coordinator Danielle Stirnaman. She
may be reached at 503-278-1637 or
