St. Vincent de Paul
Community Care Since 1953

Community Care
For more than 70 years, St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County’s social service programs have provided supportive resources for individuals, children, and families who live in poverty and/or homelessness, serving 50,000 people annually. SVdP operates more than 1,600 units of affordable housing and two-day-access shelters for families and individuals experiencing homelessness, offers low-barrier employment, and administers many programs that foster long-term stability. Waste-based businesses generate revenue for social services and divert millions of pounds of reusable materials from landfills annually.

The program helps families flourish through comprehensive services that range from daily one-one-one household support to monthly community events. Resident Services supports residents in gaining skills, building community and setting goals to maintain housing and social stability.
