Northeast Family Shelter to open in fall 2026
We have identified a new location for the HSD family shelter. It is located in Northeast Portland, and it is slated to open in fall 2026.
- Currently, approximately twenty-eight families are residing at the temporary family shelter located in another part of Northeast Portland.
- Those families will remain at the temporary site until the opening of the Northeast Family Shelter site.
- The new family shelter site will operate in a motel environment, and it will be located in a commercial and residential area. Public transportation and shopping amenities are within walking distance from the shelter site.
The Family Shelter Operator is Just Compassion
In October 2025, Just Compassion was selected by HSD to operate the family shelter. Just Compassion has been responsible for operations at the temporary site since spring 2026. This fall, Just Compassion will oversee the transition from the temporary family shelter to the Northeast Family Shelter site where they will continue to serve as the family shelter operator. Families at both the temporary and future site are those who were on the original waitlist or those families who transferred from HSD’s flexible motel shelter vouchers program.
