City of Portland

The City of Portland's Health and Human Services department strives to enhance the health and well-being of the residents of Portland in collaboration with our community, State, and Federal Partners.

The City of Portland's Health and Human Services Department currently coordinates reception and placement services to families as they arrive at the City’s Family Shelter (in addition to many other programs). The resettlement program also supports ongoing adjustment, orientation, and social services for eligible clients. This is done in close partnership with state partners, surrounding municipalities, community organizations, churches, property owners, service providers and various City departments to coordinate services and facilitate self-sufficiency among clients.
