History
The shelter was started in the basement of a local church in Tigard Oregon. We opened in 1999 and ran on a volunteer basis only. After lots of hard work and planning, we developed a board of director and were able to add a few full time paid staff members. We have been going ever sense with great community support we are able to continue to meet the needs of homeless families.
Specialties
The Good neighbor Center is a homeless shelter for families with children. We are dedicated to providing safe emergency housing with supportive empowering services for families. We work hard to make sure families are off the street and in safe housing. Because of the generous support from our community, we are able to serve roughly 90 families each year. GNC can house nine families at a time. Our goal is to help the families by providing them with guidance and resources to help gain stability and self-sufficiency.
