The Multnomah Safe Rest Village is home village-model shelter for adult individuals experiencing houselessness.

  • The Multnomah Safe Rest Village is currently expanding to 100 units and is expected to reach this figure by end of summer 2024

  • Safe Rest Villages are alternative shelters that serve as improved points of entry for Portlanders on the continuum from living on the streets to finding stability in permanent housing. All Safe Rest Villages include case management with wraparound behavioral and mental health services.  Safe Rest Villages are not sites or unmanaged tent or vehicle camping—they address unmanaged camping.

  • Our vision is to transform lives, communities and futures through holistic resource navigation.

    Every participant who walks through a Sunstone Way shelter door has access to a variety of wrap-around services, including behavioral health care, case management, resource navigation, and peersupport. We pride ourselves on setting up each participant to have consistent and regular contact with a dedicated, compassionate, and trauma-informed team. This builds trust and sets a path for reducing stress and building resiliency, allowing them to move forward on the path to hope and housing.

  • We meet participants where they are - encouraging them as they set their own goals and supporting them as they work to accomplish those goals.

  • The Multnomah Safe Rest Village requires referral through an outside agency for entry and does not take applications or manage a waitlist.
