Stronger Oregon Outreach Program
Bringing Mental Health Care Directly to Oregon’s Most Vulnerable Communities
At Stronger Oregon, we know that healing doesn’t begin in an office—it begins with safety, stability, and connection. That’s why we’ve developed our Outreach Therapy & Stabilization Program, delivering individual therapy, family therapy, case management, and consultation services directly to individuals experiencing homelessness across Oregon.
This program is built on a simple belief:
Mental health care must meet people where they are—physically, emotionally, and socially.
Who We Serve
We support individuals and families across Oregon who are:
Experiencing homelessness or housing instability
Enrolled in, or eligible for, the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) (CCO assignment does not matter)
Living with untreated or under-treated mental health conditions
Navigating complex systems without adequate support
At risk of crisis, hospitalization, or long-term system involvement
Many individuals we serve face overlapping challenges including trauma, substance use, chronic stress, and barriers to consistent care.

A True Outreach Model
This program is not clinic-based—it is community-embedded.
We meet individuals:
In shelters and transitional housing programs
On the streets and in encampments
In schools and community hubs
Through coordinated referral networks and outreach events
We don’t wait for engagement—we build it through trust, consistency, and presence.
Bridging the Gap to Care
Many individuals experiencing homelessness are eligible for services but remain disconnected due to systemic barriers.
Our team helps by:
Enrolling individuals in OHP or supporting renewals
Providing immediate access to therapy and case management
Offering culturally responsive, low-barrier care
Coordinating across fragmented systems to reduce drop-off
This ensures that care is not only available—but actually accessible.
Statewide Impact, Local Presence
Stronger Oregon is building a scalable model to deliver outreach-based behavioral health services across both urban and rural communities.
With continued partnerships and funding, we aim to:
Expand services into underserved counties
Strengthen coordination with CCOs and community providers
Build sustainable pathways from homelessness to stability
Partner With Us
We are actively seeking partnerships with:
Shelters and housing programs
School districts and youth-serving organizations
Community-based organizations
CCOs and healthcare partners
Grantmakers and public agencies
Together, we can create a system of care that reaches people before crisis—and stays with them through recovery.
At Stronger Oregon, we don’t just provide therapy—we restore stability, rebuild connections, and help people move forward.
