Summary

The Street Roots Rose City Resource (RCR) is a 4’x 4′, 104 page guide that is the most comprehensive, updated list of services for people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties. More than 160,000 guides are published annually by Street Roots and distributed to more than 400 organizations and entities working with people experiencing homelessness and poverty in the Portland region. Until now, the guide has only been available in paper form.

In 2018, Street Roots and Mapping Action Collective formed a partnership to amplify the reach of the RCR by developing a digital version of it. This interactive tool is the result. The digital RCR incorporates data collected and maintained by Street Roots and is frequently updated. The curated data for this application is available for non-commercial use.
