The latest episode of the Joint Office podcast "Out of the Streets of Portland" features the story of Michael, who successfully navigated out of decades of homelessness and substance use to support and recovery in one of the alternative, village-style shelters that have significantly expanded over the past two years thanks to unprecedented collaboration between the City of Portland and Multnomah County governments.

Out of the Streets of Portland is an award-winning monthly podcast produced by the Joint Office of Homeless Services, sharing the stories of people who have experienced homelessness, and explaining the systems and services available to help people move out of homelessness and into stable, supportive housing.
