We’re three weeks away from our Building People Power for Community Impact event!

Join us on Tuesday, November 10th from 6:00PM - 8:00PM for an evening grounded in relationship building, mutual aid, and grassroots organizing. This is your chance to connect directly with neighbors and local organizations doing vital work along the SE 82nd Ave corridor.

Come learn how we can work toward community-led solutions together! Snacks and drinks will be provided, and every donation made to these non-profits during the event gets you entries into the raffle (with items provided by each participating organization!)

Can’t make it in person? You can still show your solidarity online! Follow our amazing partners and click the link in our bio to join our email list. See you out there!

At Sisters of the Road, we believe that homelessness is a policy choice. Policies and tools, of which a TIF district is, can be wielded for good or bad. The work of the 82nd Ave Area TIF district can bring us closer to solving homelessness in Portland, or it can perpetuate this unsustainable situation we continue to find ourselves in.

Sisters of the Road joined fellow community members in delivering public comments at the August CLC meeting, only to leave dissatisfied with the outcome. The committee spent the meeting discussing their housing priorities that favored current homeowners and first time homebuyers, despite the data showing the immense need for deeply affordable housing, which isn't being built because property developers see no benefit to them.

Earlier this week, we did what Sisters has been known for over the last 46+ years: sharing a meal, creating a space of dignity, and hearing directly from those with lived experiences of homelessness and poverty. Creating Home Together — our effort to build what is needed and wanted from Sisters in our new home in Lents — is how we are approaching our neighborhood with humility and intention. Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared their visions for our space, what they love about their community, and the issues that matter most to them. The valuable insights from these sessions will directly shape the direction of Sisters' next chapter in Lents, ensuring our new space and programs are deeply rooted in what our community wants and needs.

Housed or unhoused, the people of Lents in East Portland share a common goal: a safe, supportive neighborhood for everyone. Many residents have been here for 10–30 years, and they’ve had enough of the city's reliance on temporary fixes that don’t address the root causes of homelessness and poverty. They want a real commitment to permanent housing, and a stronger community where everyone can thrive.

East Portland Collective is having a resource fair at Lents International Farmers Market this coming Sunday, it's free and open to all! Come meet your neighbors and help build a more resilient community.

Good Circumstance is a new library in Old Town that serves unhoused women and marginalized gender identities, which fills a crucial gap that has been missing from existing services for people experiencing homelessness.

Guests receive a warm welcome and an invitation to stay a while, rooted in dignity and offering a safe place to catch their breath.

Please join Sisters in celebrating one year with our wonderful Executive Director, Nicki Dardinger!

One year ago, Nicki jumped headfirst into rebuilding Sisters of the Road and wow has it been incredible the work they've accomplished in only just one year! Since joining they’ve worked hand-in-hand with our Roadies, Board, and staff to charter an exciting new strategic direction for Sisters, put together an incredible (and fully staffed) team, help form the 82nd Avenue Coalition, and successfully close on our new permanent home in the Lents neighborhood!

Through this dedicated leadership, folks around Nicki can feel the philosophies of Sisters alive and spreading throughout our community, as they continue to build crucial bridges in East Portland.

Nicki’s impact doesn't just stop at Sisters. They spend a lot of their free time serving on other boards and coalitions, submitting testimony for crucial causes, and advocating to defeat measures that would harm our unhoused neighbors.

Thank you, Nicki, for your vision, your guidance, your advocacy, and an amazing first year! We can't wait to see what the future holds.💙🌟
