Same mission, same services - just a new address for now

August 2025: Hope Acts has relocated to the YMCA at 70 Forest Avenue, Portland, while our service hub and transitional housing are fully renovated to help us better serve our clients. We'll welcome clients at our temporary home inside the YMCA for about 9 months. Programs and services will continue at the YMCA. The work permit clinic at the library is not affected by our move. Staff contact info is unchanged.
