Portland Rescue Mission
MOSAIC PARTNERS WITH THE PORTLAND Rescue Mission (PRM) to provide hope, transformation, and total life recovery for homeless people in our community. PRM is a Christ-centered organization that offers much more than a meal and a helping hand. Their goal is to break the generational cycle of homelessness for every person to whom they minister. This partnership allows Mosaic to be a vital part of transforming lives and offering hope to those who are hopeless and often overlooked. More: portlandrescuemission.org.
Burnside Shelter
The Burnside Shelter (downtown Portland) provides emergency services for homeless guests such as meals, beds, and restrooms. The shelter also has a long-term recovery program for men that addresses the root causes of homelessness and provides men with the skills needed to maintain an independent lifestyle.
Shepherd’s Door
Shepherd’s Door (NE Portland) is a long-term recovery program for the fastest growing population of homeless people: women and their children. The shelter provides generational healing to help break the cycle of homelessness by providing a wholistic program, individual to the needs of each woman and child.

Shepherd's Door: Rides to Sunday Gatherings
Several residents are interested in attending Sunday gatherings at Mosaic, but do not have rides. This would be a great opportunity for them to integrate into the Mosaic community and continue growing in relationship with Jesus as they transition from the shelter to independent living.
