Street Roots’ updated guide provides a complete list of services, as well as notices related to COVID-19
Street Roots is delighted to announce the release of a new online version of the Rose City Resource at rosecityresource.streetroots.org.
With COVID-19 pushing people in need further into crisis, this online app will help people immediately see our complete, updated listing of services, along with notices pertaining to the pandemic response.
Many programs have reduced hours or closed facilities altogether. Others are modifying services to continue helping people while following health and safety protocols.
Like the print edition of Rose City Resource, this online application is an easy-to-navigate resource to find assistance on housing, shelters, meals, clothing, recovery, counseling and many other services.
The digital Rose City Resource also includes new shelter and emergency resources that have emerged in response to the pandemic crisis.
The new app was made possible by a collaboration the Mapping Action Collective and OMBU web services.
If your organization or agency would like to update its information on the digital Rose City Resource, please visit the “Suggest Update” link in the top right corner of the website. We will keep this updated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, so please submit edits that convey current hours and services. If you have questions, please email sophie@streetroots.org.
