The leading causes of houselessness among Veterans are PTSD, mental health, substance use disorder, social isolation, & behavioral health. Veterans are over-represented among the unhoused making up18% of adults in homeless shelters but only being 7% of national population.
Since 2015, Do Good has placed hundreds of houseless Veterans successfully using the low-barrier model. We know there are missing puzzle pieces to providing individual, stratified care in shelter. We all want to see every Veteran housed. To get there, we must act together and change how we treat Veterans in crisis. Do Good provides critical services that alleviate the trauma of houselessness and offer a launching pad to address the next step towards positive mental health outcomes.
Do Good believes that everyone desires a safe place to call home and strives find a solution to any obstacles in the way to make that a reality for an individual. We offer human-centered support that leads to personal enrichment, attaining one's stated goals, and life transformation. Since 2015 we have placed over 750 formerly houseless individuals into permanent housing and and on any given night provide over 600 beds for those experiencing houselessness in the greater Portland Metro area.
