List of day centers

Multnomah County funds about a dozen day centers that serve people experiencing homelessness. These day centers provide an indoor space for people to escape the elements and get their basic needs met, whether that’s taking a shower, eating a meal or charging their phone. Often, day centers are also able to connect people with long-term services like shelter, housing, healthcare and more.

Information subject to change. Please contact day centers to confirm hours and services.
