Write Around Portland

A new home shouldn’t mean isolation. For too many of our neighbors moving into affordable housing, it can also mean being far from the community they are comfortable with.

Write Around Portland brings people together through respectful, therapeutic writing groups with the goal of strengthening connection and friendship in affordable housing.

This spring, your support will help Portland residents stay housed and feel at home. As well as foster a sense of safety, comfort and joy among new neighbors.

Now through June 30, your gift will be DOUBLED by matching donors!

Give today and help keep people housed and connected this spring. Visit writearound.org/springcampaign to learn more about our work with writers in affordable housing.
