auntie's place

From the beginning, Auntie’s Place was designed differently. Unlike traditional shelters that often separate family members by gender or age, Auntie’s Place helps keep families intact.

NAYA’s Housing and Stabilization Services Department offers advocacy services, longer-term housing stability assistance, shelter and rapid re-housing for homeless families

Our Multnomah County emergency rental assistance is closed for referrals, however we do encourage people to try connecting with 211. A team from local government refers some households each week to NAYA and many other local rent assistance providers. 211 is the pathway for Multnomah County residents in need of rent assistance.

This eight-room facility was built around the simple but powerful idea that every family deserves dignity, privacy, and the chance to stay together. Each of the shelter’s rooms can accommodate up to seven family members, offering a 45-day stay that provides both immediate safety and a pathway forward.

Anyone interested in getting help and staying at Auntie's Place to get back on their feet can get a referral through Clackamas County Coordinated Housing Access (link - https://www.clackamas.us/communitydevelopment/cccha)
