""Collectively, the findings from this report paint a picture of people experiencing homelessness who know what they need to obtain and maintain permanent housing.""
""The vast majority-98 percent-of survey participants want permanent housing. But many are often worried they will lose housing again if they can't afford it.""
The Pathways Study by Portland State University surveyed 541 individuals experiencing homelessness in Multnomah County. The report indicates that 98% of participants desire permanent housing but are concerned about affordability and potential loss of housing. Financial support emerged as the top need, with legal assistance and job placement identified as significant unmet needs. The findings provide insights into the challenges faced by homeless individuals and highlight the necessity for targeted support amid rising homelessness and limited resources.
