Since 2014, Dignity Village has partnered with the City of Portland (HUCIRP), Multnomah County (Joint Office for Homeless Services), and JOIN to employ our onsite Village Program Specialist to help our Village board with data management, administrative advising/consultation, and systems advocacy support. Our partnership with JOIN also offers support through their InReach case worker team. JOIN’s InReach case workers help with referrals to employment support, social security applications, housing searches/applications, coordinated access, healthcare access, mental health and addiction referrals, obtaining ID and other documents, and more. By partnering with an outside agency, villagers do not lose their case worker should they depart from Dignity Village. Dignity Village is currently advocating to create an additional onsite position to close capacity gaps in connecting individuals with various social service providers based on each individual’s unique goals and/or barriers to transitioning to permanent housing.
Contact Victory (they/them/theirs), our Village Program Specialist, for more information.
