Overview
Mission
Welcome Home is a diverse coalition in the Portland metropolitan region that uses its collective resources to create healthy communities by ensuring everyone has an affordable and stable home. We use community education and collaboration civic engagement and research to advance housing policies that enable all our neighbors to thrive. Vision: We envision a future of housing options that meet the real needs of people in our region.
What it reported doing in 2025
Welcome Home launched Community Conversations for Housing Justice to connect with community groups and the general public to facilitate conversations about the root causes of homelessness and to discuss solutions that are rooted in dignity and sustainability. Housing is on everybodys mind and many of us want to do something to fix the crisis but it can feel overwhelming. We come together and break down the issue and learn from each other. Hopefully attendees leave these conversations with new information and action steps new relationships and new hope! Following a brief informational presentation by Welcome Homes director participants from our Voices for Housing Justice program who have lived experience with homelessness housing instability take time to share their personal stories. Afterward the Welcome Home director facilitates an open dialogue with event attendees about concerns and solutions to our housing crisis. The program seeks to connect with community members outside our coalition membership to create improved understanding and collaboration across difference.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.

- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
