In this episode, Pride Northwest Executive Director Debra Porta is joined by the Development Director of Rose Haven, Liz Starke. Debra and Liz discuss the services Rose Haven provides day-to-day as the only day shelter and community center specifically serving women, children, and gender-diverse people in Portland. The conversation also includes topics such as how the LGBTQIA2S+ community is impacted by homelessness and the barriers they face accessing services, the landscape of current needs for houseless and housing-insecure people in Portland, and the no-daytime camping ban in Portland and how that has affected houseless folks, shelters, and service providers.
