3rd and Burnside
August 6th, 2022 – Some of our vendors, staff and board members gathered on the corner of 3rd and Burnside to hang a banner of HOPE outside our future home in Old Town.

The Campaign

Portland is frustrated with homelessness. How we respond matters. Street Roots is choosing to respond with HOPE, the belief that we have everyone needed around us to make any dream possible.

We have a bold, ambitious dream at Street Roots: to give our vendors and the houseless community a space where they can rest, think, dream and be.

After 23 years, Street Roots is moving! We have fully purchased a new home on 3rd and Burnside. 

Street Roots' $7.3 million dollar capital campaign will allow us to invest in our people, programs, journalism and community like never before.

For example, our current office provides 4 square feet for every active vendor we serve, and allows for about 12,000 visits a year. Things are tight. You may have already experienced this yourself, a visit to Street Roots is where the magic happens. It means buying a paper, being together, picking up supplies, connection, receiving training, or dropping by for conversation. Above all else, it's a space to be seen. Our new home will allow us to facilitate an additional 36,000 vendor visits each year!
