About Human Solutions
Human Solutions’ mission is to help low-income and homeless families and individuals gain self-sufficiency by providing affordable housing, family support services, job readiness training, and economic development opportunities.
Human Solutions has been helping homeless and low-income families build pathways out of poverty for 25 years. Our 245-mile service area in outer East Portland and East Multnomah County includes some of the highest poverty neighborhoods in Multnomah County. Last year, we touched the lives of more than 88,000 people. We offer services in four interrelated areas:
Prevention Services: Each year, we help over 7,000 households avoid having their utilities shut off and remain warm and safe in their homes by providing utility assistance. We also help over 440 households remain in their homes each year through short-term emergency rent assistance.
Direct Services to Homeless Families: We operate emergency shelter, transitional housing, “Housing First” programs, and permanent supportive housing. Acting on the belief that housing is a basic human right, we move homeless families into permanent housing as quickly as possible and then offer them the supportive services necessary to stabilize their situations and overcome their homelessness.
Employment and Economic Development Programs: Having a family wage job is essential to a family’s ability to overcome homelessness and be self-sufficient. Human Solutions operates three distinct employment and economic development programs that help more than 300 individuals with significant barriers to employment find family wage jobs and/or improve their job skills to increase their household incomes each year.
Affordable Housing: Human Solutions owns and operates 16 high-quality affordable housing complexes containing 608 apartments. At each property we offer Resident Services, which help families maintain housing by connecting them to quality social, educational and employment services (both within Human Solutions and in the wider community) so they can move forward in their lives. Last year, about 620 families, comprised of more than 1,900 people, resided in our affordable housing.

Portland, Ore. – April 12, 2013 – Human Solutions received a $10,000 grant from the Bank of America Foundation that will help provide emergency shelter, permanent housing and case management services to homeless families. This latest grant brings BofA’s total philanthropic support for Human Solutions to $235,000 over past decade.
Monique Barton, right, Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Bank of America, and Nicole Frisch, assistant Vice President, present Human Solutions with a grant check.
The grant supports the Homeless Families Program at Human Solutions, which serves more than 700 homeless parents and children in 230 families on any given night. The program helps families permanently overcome homelessness through a combination of emergency shelter, permanent affordable housing and intensive case management. This mix of services is extremely effective when serving homeless families, according to Human Solutions Executive Director Jean DeMaster.
“Emergency shelter serves homeless families in crisis. Permanent housing offers these families stability while they work to overcome homelessness for good,” DeMaster said. “Support from the Bank of America Foundation helps make it possible for Human Solutions to provide the support homeless families need so they can get back on their feet and provide for themselves and their children.”
Monique Barton, Bank of America’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility, cited the unique and effective mix of temporary shelter, permanent housing and case management as the reason for BofA’s funding: “Human Solutions has a proven track-record of getting results in the work they do, and we’re pleased to be able to do our part to support their important efforts. And on behalf of our local 1,600 employees, we’re especially proud of the fact that this is the 10th year we’re supporting Human Solutions, with $235,000 in grants from the Bank of America Foundation over that time,” said Barton.
About Human Solutions: Human Solutions promotes self-sufficiency for homeless and low-income families and individuals in outer East Portland and East Multnomah County. The agency’s four primary program areas are overcoming homelessness, affordable housing, employment and economic development, and safety net services such as rent and utility assistance.

About RRI
RRI is the research arm of the School of Social Work at PSU, with a 40 year history of conducting research dedicated to improving the design, management, practice and evaluation of human services and service delivery systems. RRI is the largest social and behavioral research institute on the PSU campus and is home to two large nationally funded Centers.
Community-engagedevaluation and capacity-building.
Historically, the heart of RRI’s work has focused on meeting the needs and addressing priorities of community partners through evaluation services. RRI faculty and staff help partners:
Develop and evaluate field-initiated demonstration projects in response to federal funding opportunities;
Conduct process studies of broad system-level initiatives; and
Undertake evaluations sponsored by state and local entities to understand and improve program effectiveness.
The work is always driven by partnership and collaboration, with RRI researchers helping to meet evaluation requirements that accompany grants and cooperative agreements, while also ensuring that local concerns are addressed. RRI faculty and staff work with partners on program design, facilitate the development of logic models, help identify intended outcomes, develop procedures to monitor fidelity, and create strategies to assess short- and long-term outcomes. Consumers, providers, and stakeholders play an important part in all these activities, and are critical to understanding, interpreting and disseminating results as well.
Investigator-initiated research
A growing portfolio of investigator-initiated studies, funded by the National Institutes for Health (NIH), the Institute foe Education Studies (IES), and other federal sources, focus on advancing knowledge. This portfolio currently includes seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing the efficacy of interventions for youth and siblings in foster care, youth with disabilities, and services for transition-age youth. Research faculty at RRI are partnering on these studies with colleagues at PSU and other institutions around the country, utilizing interdisciplinary strengths and state-of-the art methods. In addition to RCTs, effectiveness research at RRI tests evidence-based practices (EBPs) in community settings, brings EBPs to scale in public systems, and adapts and tests culturally specific models.
Developmental or Systems Change Work: Making things happen.
RRI faculty and staff and their community partners frequently go beyond the boundaries of the traditional research roles to ‘translate’ learning into practice. This may involve development of new interventions in response to research findings, working with underserved populations to adapt or create practice based interventions, developing training programs, giving voice to consumers in advocacy leadership roles, providing consultation and technical assistance to programs and agencies, and convening partners and stakeholders at multiple levels across multiple systems to create or change public policy.
Size and Scope:
Annual external funding of more than $10 million supports research projects employing more than 100 faculty and staff, numerous doctoral, MSW and BSW students, as well as interns from other disciplines. At any given time, RRI is conducting as many as 65 projects in partnership with local organizations, county or state government entities, and/or partners all over the country. Projects may address outcomes anywhere from attendance at a single elementary school in a low-income community in the Portland metro area to HIV prevention in the Amazon.
Commitment to the educational mission of the School of Social Work and the university.
Research Services:
Research Services available at RRI encompass a broad range of activities related to the design, development, and implementation of qualitative, quantitive and mixed methods studies in collaboration with our community partners.
Portland, Ore. — May 6th, 2013 — The Classic Wines Auction, Inc. (CWA), presented by Kuni Automotive, delivered a check for $436,750 to Metropolitan Family Service (MFS). The donation will help MFS continue providing help to more than 30,000 low-income individuals and families. MFS is the original auction beneficiary and remains highly involved with CWA to this day.
The Classic Wines Auction presents Metropolitan Family Service with $436,750 raised from its gala annual auction. Pictured left to right: Paul Vogel, Classic Wines Auction board member; Heather Martin, Classic Wines Auction Executive Director; Keith Barnes, Classic Wines Auction board member; Chris Hermann, Classic Wines Auction board member; Donna Edwards, Metropolitan Family Service Board Chair; Judy Strand, Metropolitan Family Service Chief Executive Officer; Karen Hinsdale, Classic Wines Auction board member.
Critical funding from CWA makes it possible for MFS to play a pivotal role in early intervention and prevention to deliver proven programs that help people succeed at home, in school, and in the community. This begins with providing guidance to children during formative times to helping them succeed as independent adults. A prime example of this is Jordan. The overwhelming events that occurred in Jordan’s life — unstable household and homelessness — caused him to start skipping school.
“I had eleven credits towards graduation that I needed to make up. MFS came into the picture at the most perfect time,” said Jordan. “All the experience that I gained helped me to transition into eventually working for the program. “[MFS] jumps on every opportunity to help and without that I would not be where I am today.”
Today Jordan works at the Metropolitan Family Service SUN Community School located at Gresham High School, where he enrolls kids in the academic recovery program. His goal is to help every single one of his students make up what they need to graduate.
How Metropolitan Family Service Serves the Community:
The original auction beneficiary, Metropolitan Family Service (MFS), is known as a progressive leader in the development and delivery of fundamental social service programs. MFS provides services that meet the ever-changing needs throughout the Portland/Vancouver area, helping children succeed, strengthening families and their connections to community and helping older adults live independently.
More than 30,000 children, families and older adults receive help through MFS each year. Financial support for programs is leveraged with the help of nearly 2,000 active volunteers who contribute 70,000 hours of service annually.
Proceeds from the Classic Wines Auction:
Funds raised by Classic Wines Auction are invested in Metropolitan Family Service’s proven programs and innovative, cost effective approaches to address important social issues, including:
·After school programs and mentoring for 18,000 children and families in high poverty neighborhoods
·32,000 rides help older adults and people with disabilities get to medical appointments and grocery stores
·Financial education and low-interest loans to 92 working parents who need a car for work, childcare, and school-related transportation
·Parent education classes to help 520 families build successful relationships
“Metropolitan Family Service opens doors of possibilities for thousands of kids in the community. It’s important for people to continue to support MFS because it helps these kids get through school by giving them the support that they need at the right time,” said Keith Barnes, 2013 CWA Co-Chair.
The majority of the funds were raised during the annual Classic Wines Auction fundraising gala this past March. As one of the largest fundraisers in Oregon, CWA is dedicated to producing premiere food and wine events to raise funds for local charities. CWA partners with organizations with the following characteristics: mission compatibility, effective organizational management, sound financial practices, board-led fundraising, sustainability and a solid volunteer network.
Consistently recognized as one of the top charity wine auctions in the country by Wine Spectator Magazine since 2001, the Classic Wines Auction has raised nearly $32 million for Portland-area charities since its inception in 1982. Based in Portland, Ore., Classic Wines Auction, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to producing the Classic Wines Auction and related food and wine events to raise funds for local charities benefiting children and families, including: Metropolitan Family Service, New Avenues for Youth, Friends of the Children-Portland, YWCA Clark County and Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel.
