Mission
The mission of the Good Neighbor Center (GNC) is to provide safe, emergency housing with supportive and empowering services for families. GNC has been sheltering homeless families since the year 2000. With nine bedroom units, a dining room, day room, fenced outside yard and commercial kitchen, GNC housed 84 families in FY2014-15. We primarily serve families who come to us from Washington County and the greater Portland, Oregon metro area. We are the largest of the three family homeless shelter programs in Washington County. Although GNC's first concern is to provide shelter and food, case management toward permanent housing is provided to every homeless family. Our staff makes use of all possible resources to help families remove barriers to housing, including participation in our Housing Stabilization Program, referral to other transitional and permanent housing programs, referral to employment and training programs, bi-weekly Life Skills classes, the Rent Well curriculum, and access to public benefits. Another of our key initiatives is to stabilize all children in school, with liaison services to local school districts, interaction with each child's school counselors and teachers as appropriate, a daily Homework Club during the school year, individualized tutoring, and a ten week full day Summer School. We have a particularly good relationship with the Title X-Homeless Liaison office at the Beaverton School District and the Beaverton Family Resource Center. We also work with adults and older teens on completing GED requirements and accessing other educational and job training resources.
