Homelessness in Portland: Eliminating a Culture of Poverty Through Affordable Housing

The topic for our research was homelessness in Portland. Home Forward is a local organization that supplies affordable housing for people facing financial difficulty, disabilities, and mental illnesses. Their buildings grant homeless individuals access to shelter, education, and a supportive community. I have created a photo essay to visually represent the way affordable housing can work to combat a culture of poverty. Seen in the pictures are areas of poverty, home forward housing, and then the schools and community centers provided by Home Forward.
