Help us build 6 more units on our campus and allow us to say "yes" to more vulnerable families. We see every day that the need for our services exceeds our capacity. Families need a safe and stable place to call home to heal from the trauma of homelessness and learn critical life-skills to help strengthen their lives. Please join us in meeting our goal to make Sheila’s Dream a reality.
St. Francis Family Housing provides several programs designed to help families who need housing help including low-barrier shelter, transitional housing, and rental assistance. We serve families with children under age 18 living in Marion or Polk counties in Oregon.
For over 30 years, St. Francis Shelter has provided safe housing for homeless families with children in Marion and Polk Counties.
St. Francis is a bit different. We don’t have any signs or displays. We’re just a part of our neighborhood.
St. Francis serves families of all shapes and sizes. We maintain a warm, welcoming, inclusive and open environment.
We use a multistage process to make sure that families are ready for our transitional housing program, a good fit for our campus, and ready to transition into permanent housing.
