The Tillamook Hope Center at the Jason Gooding Campus will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 10, 2024 to celebrate the expansion and give community partners a tour.
As the homelessness crisis in Oregon continues to grow, Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers is about to expand its capacity to serve the people who need it most with an additional forty beds in Tillamook County. The Tillamook Hope Center has been operating
on the first floor of the Tillamook Naval Headquarters Building since 2015. Thanks to a partnership with Columbia Pacific CCO, Helping Hands was able to renovate the second floor to add an additional forty beds, while still maintaining the historic integrity
of the building. On December 10, 2024 at 12:00pm, Helping Hands will be officially opening the addition and will have times for the members of the public to come and tour the facility at 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
Key Highlights about the Tillamook Hope Center:
- In 2023, 18,778 meals were served here.
- Helping Hands is on track to serve more individuals in 2024 than in 2023.
- 52% of people staying at the Tillamook Hope Center last year were chronically unhoused.
- The fastest growing populations served are mothers with children and senior citizens.
The Grand Opening of the expansion of the Tillamook Hope Center will be an opportunity to learn more about what services and resources are available for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the community. Alan Evans, Founder & President, Mike Davis (CEO), will be available to answer questions.
