This is a total waste of time, they make you leave your phone number and they never call you back, apparently there is no way to talk to a human unless by the grace of God someone actually calls you back, but after a month of playing this game I highly doubt I'll ever hear from them.

211 is a waste of time I’ve been calling every Monday and Thursday for the last four months and the list is always closed , there is never any resources for rent or for your power bill I’m a father of 4 plus I pay Childsupport and I’m currently getting my check garnished from the state of Oregon plus Childsupport took my taxes and my stimulus check as a single man who pays HIGHER taxes I’m fed up there is no help unless I’m a single mother looking they seem to get all the government resources handed to them

Questions & Answers

HOTEL for homeless whom needs a shower and a bed just for a short time

Lisa Ferreira | Aug 16, 2018
Nekilof - | Sep 19, 2021

Hotel/motel vouchers and/or gas vouchers are EXTREMELY rare & also don't address the underlying problems - meaning that it's putting a band-aid on a wound (being homeless) vs. healing the wound (finding a way to get out of being homeless). A better alternative is trying to get into homeless shelters as a starting point or utilizing homeless drop-in shelters during the day if you can't get housing at night & trying to work on getting into transitional housing (which is longer term supportive (meaning you have help to learn how to be successful) but still temporary housing). That being said, 211info doesn't monitor these posts on Google at all. You can contact them directly for help via text, email, phone, or on their website.

Many people ask where they can take a nice hot shower if they're travelling or HOMELESS. (see my answer below...)

Sojourner-Love's Cycling | Aug 16, 2019
Sojourner-Love's Cycling | Aug 16, 2019

For a cheap or free SHOWER, try these options that have worked for me: • The gym locker rooms of local COMMUNITY CENTRES, community COLLEGES or UNIVERSITY. (Both asking and being "stealthy" has worked for me) • Ask a CHURCH...after a service, knock on their door, or call the office and ask for help. • Get a FREE DAY PASS to "try out" a gym. Even $10 / month at Planet fitness can be a viable and worthwhile option for some people. • STATE PARKS and even private (RV) CAMPGROUNDS usually offer showers for ~$5.00 or less. • Most real TRUCK STOPS still offer showers for $5-15. That might seem like a lot, but it's really hot water, and you can take your time in privacy (something you long for when you're on the road!). Best of luck to you!

There really aren't resources for fixing a car, and if you don't have a valid license, you shouldn't be driving your car. If you're concerned about abuse, you could contact domestic violence hotlines and/or look at getting into a homeless shelter.

Suzanne Guardado | Aug 15, 2021
Nekilof - | Sep 19, 2021

If this person needs emergency mental health care, go to your nearest ER; once the emergency is dealt with, the hospital should have a case worker that can start to get initial services set up. Also, if they have Medicaid/OHP, they can contact a mental health service provider that accepts Medicaid. If they have private insurance, they can go to a mental health facility that's in their network. Be sure to verify that the mental health facility provides case management in addition to counseling.

That's odd that you were served an eviction notice for being late on rent. It sounds like you need legal services like Legal Aid.

Take a Rent Well class. They are free. When you complete it you're given a voucher to give a future landlord. The voucher is a promise to pay up to $2,000 in unpaid debt on your behalf (if you owe money for back rent or damages etc) It assures them they don't have to worry about the situation you may be in now :)

Additionally with the gas situation, if you're homeless and can't afford gas for your car, you could consider getting rid of the car and using public transportation if you're in the Portland metro area. A lot of drop-in homeless shelters offer help getting Trimet passes. If you're outside the Portland metro area, the homeless drop in shelters in your area might have a resource for gas, but it'd be still rare.
