Our Just Future

We are so grateful to longtime funders the Clark Foundation for making a multi-year commitment to invest in the work we do at Our Just Future! In a time where our local governments are cutting back on public services, grants like these help us get essential resources back into the community. This funding will support housing access and housing stability in East Portland, Gresham, and East Multnomah County. Thank you for trusting in our team!
