A second evil which plagues the modern world is that of poverty…almost two-thirds of the peoples of the world go to bed hungry at night…Many of them have no houses or beds to sleep in. Their only beds are the sidewalks of the cities and the dusty roads of the villages…There is nothing new about poverty. What is new, however, is that we have the resources to get rid of it.

About us
Welcome to CRAWL
CRAWL is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that helps people navigate local resources that address many individual needs connected to the social determinants of health. We help people connect with services that help with the following:
Housing is a critical social determinant of health and the community, along with Oregon as a whole, is experiencing high rates of rental burden and a limited supply of housing.
The four most common reasons why community members say they are homeless are “Unemployed” (41%), “Could not afford rent” (23%), “Homeless by choice” (17%), and “Mental or Emotional Disorder” (16%). People believed that affordable housing or a job/source of income would improve their situation.
About half of community members who rent experience rental burden, which means they pay 30% or more of their gross household income on rent. Community members believe that the lack of affordable housing is contributing to homelessness.
