Housing Outreach Team

The Cascadia Housing Outreach Team operates and administers a variety of permanent supportive housing in Multnomah County to more than 225+ households including single adults, couples, and families with children, including individuals without insurance or without income.  These programs provide a rental subsidy and supportive services to participants who have experienced homelessness and have a mental health disability. Services are mobile and provided in the participants’  homes or in the community with the intent of meeting participants where they are. Housing Outreach Team services are varied and include housing placement, housing retention, and mental health services including outreach and engagement, assisting in housing search and application processes, moving in, obtaining furniture, tenancy skills, advocacy with landlords, counseling, case management, support in accessing primary care, and addressing health needs.

How to access services:

Cascadia’s Housing Outreach Team has Permanent Supportive Housing programs that are connected to HUD, and can be accessed through one of Multnomah County’s five Coordinated Access systems: Veterans, Adults, Families, Unaccompanied Youth, and Domestic Violence Survivors. Cascadia can only work with eligible individuals (those who have completed the Coordinated Access assessment who are chronically homeless and have a mental health disability) who have been referred to our program from Multnomah County after they have completed a Coordinated Access assessment.

If you are a Cascadia client, please ask your case manager how to get connected to staff at Cascadia that can assist you in completing a Coordinated Access assessment.
