Summary:
City Team Portland is a faith based organization that makes it their mission to help those in need and share with them the Gospel. They build a community that enables long term success in recovery and that begins with treatment programs. Having a drug free environment and working towards stability through various resources the organization offers bring promising hope to those in need. Seeing others recover who were in similar circumstances is a great motivator to keep moving forward. They provide an address so people can get a job, help with getting ID, and help with securing a job. This organization is fully funded and possible because of the community. This includes people and local businesses coming together. As one staff member put nicely "Local residents and businesses are really the reason behind why this is possible".
