Overview

Mission

Mobilize local communities, in partnership with the Oregon department of human services (odhs), to safely reduce the number of children and youth in foster care in Oregon by creating permanent placements through reunification, adoption, or guardianships.

What it reported doing in 2025

Cp3 continues to facilitate a multi-partner process to provide more supportive housing for child-welfare involved families via a single site to be developed by the local housing authority, and a scattered site model which relies on existing housing throughout the community. Cp3 engaged a community partner to lead the program, integrating a housing-first mindset, and also developed a client referral process and partner focus session to assist child-welfare involved families access supportive housing. We also applied for grant funds to address barriers to housing, such as accessing legal documents, housing application fees and others.

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 64% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
