Arbor Lodge Shelter | Portland, OR

Safety and Stability for All Neighbors

  • Completion Date 2024
  • Budget N/A
  • Scale 11,000 SF

SOJ partnered with Multnomah County’s Joint Office of Homeless Services and Do Good Multnomah to transform a former Rite Aid into a long-term, year-round transitional shelter serving up to 120 adults. The shelter offers health and housing services, as well as amenities such as laundry, shower rooms, restrooms, a kitchen, offices, and common spaces. In addition, the shelter is located near transit, libraries, educational and employment facilities, and social services.

The shelter thoughtfully incorporates trauma-informed design that takes daylight, sound, and other sensory impacts into consideration, ensuring vulnerable participants have a safe sanctuary. The site includes shared outdoor space and a small “tiny shelter” village with individual sleeping structures for 18 women.
