Our Leadership Team and staff are passionate about serving our communities with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Our Services

In our efforts to alleviate poverty, homelessness, at risk of homelessness, and chronic homelessness our housing support services may connect you to rental assistance, emergency shelters, access to low-cost affordable permanent housing, wraparound services, case management, and other supports.
Community Health Programs
GNHC actively listens to and supports the voices of the community regarding their needs using a culturally specific trauma informed strength based model. As a BIPOC organization we are engaged in building community health programs using an anti-racism framework. Our aim is to address racial disparities in health systems, eliminate barriers in accessing quality healthcare, access to obtaining affordable health insurance, engaging in healthy lifestyle changes, and sharing accurate health education and information amongst communities.
Meet The Team
Our Leaders here at GNHC have over 40+ years of combined expertise providing culturally specific strengths-based trauma informed supportive services and resources to underrepresented marginalized communities throughout Multnomah County and surrounding counties.

Testimonial
I want to thank you for allowing us to become a partner with the clothing giveaway, to be able to provide brand-new clothing to those in need. I am planning a local giveaway here in Maryland. I shared some of the boxes with Rev. Irene Smith. She has a nonprofit. She was blessed to be able to ship boxes to Uganda. Just wanted to share their expressions of appreciation and the smiles of the children. Just warms your heart!
