The proposed project will support the creation of a peer-led, culturally-responsive and trauma-informed Behavioral Health Resource Center (BHRC) in downtown Portland, Oregon, currently home to a majority of the region's growing number of chronically houseless residents - many of whom experience behavioral challenges and barriers to accessing services. This project is a shared vision, realized through collaborative efforts by local governments, businesses, service providers and people who hope to find safety and support within the BHRC community. Planning efforts have underscored the need for outreach and communication with community members prior to opening, slated for November 2022. Requested funds will support hiring and training six peer staff to conduct outreach and a media campaign aimed at ensuring BHRC acceptance by consumers, businesses, residents and other stakeholders.
