Ending homelessness
The Joint Office of Homeless Services (JOHS) works to address the homelessness crisis in Multnomah County. We work with community-based organizations and government agencies to provide coordinated, participant-driven and equity-based services for those who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless.
We recognize the co-occurring crises that people living unhoused face, including living with medical conditions and disabilities, behavioral health issues and substance use disorders. That is why our approach to each individual experiencing homelessness is multi-faceted and holistic – to address all of the co-occurring crises that a person is facing while experiencing homelessness.
