On this episode of ‘Out of the Streets of Portland’, we hear from Pastor Dwight Minnieweather and his partner LaToya Minnieweather of Straightway Services about the work they have been doing in the community for the past twenty years, and what they have planned for the new village shelter that will be opening in December. The Joint Office of Homeless Services is funding and supporting the new Light Community village-style shelter, which is in the process of being constructed on 82nd Avenue in southeast Portland. The village is set to open in December 2024.

This podcast is produced by the Joint Office of Homeless Services, a Multnomah County department with funding from the County, the City of Portland, Metro, and the state and federal governments to house, shelter, and provide, street outreach, navigation, employment assistance, assistance obtaining social security income, and case management to people experiencing homelessness in our community.

Our podcast focused on sharing the stories of people who are currently or formerly homeless in our community, and helping navigate the systems and services that the Joint Office of Homeless Services and its partners either have in place, or are developing, to help people move out of homelessness and back into stable, supportive housing.
