The practice of resilience, as it both restores and serves, is not so visible. It may not make it into these pages, but it is no less meaningful.
Dear friends:
In the past year, the staff, clients and community of CCC have each in their own right astounded us with their practice of resilience and its remarkable effects. You will read about these in the following pages, encompassing monumental work in housing, employment and health care, while standing up new forms of governance, such as the Equity Steering Committee.
Sometimes, the practice of resilience, as it both restores and serves, is not so visible. It may not make it into these pages, but it is no less meaningful. I witness it every day: a staff member helping to move someone into an apartment he has been waiting on for months. An outreach worker making visits again and again, slowly building a relationship that will bear fruit over time. Providing health care without judgement, shame or stigma, no matter the circumstance, again and again and again. These acts of service remind me of probably the best advice I ever learned in medical school: do small things with great love.
Resilience, and the mighty outcomes it achieves, do not come from magic. No one of us is super-human, immune to the immense pressures, demands and fears we face every day in this work. Every staff member at CCC, every client or resident who engages in our services, is making an act of courage, and it takes strength and support to do so. Thank you for honoring and acknowledging that courage — by reading this report, by supporting CCC and by helping to build a community that speaks to the wellspring of potential each of us holds.
For the past 16 years, CCC has been my home in every sense of the word. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to serve and learn here. I thank you for a greater journey of the soul than I ever could have imagined.
My best to you all.
Rachel Solotaroff, M.D. , President & CEO

Going Full Circle
2021 brought new challenges related to COVID, delta and the omicron variants as well as workforce shortages. As the only source of life-saving health care for many of our clients, CCC could not stop during the pandemic. Our community once again demonstrated their resilience. Medical providers from around Oregon and the country joined the CCC team to practice and serve. Among them, Dr. Richard Bruno, CCC’s new director of primary care, Dr. Madden Rowell, CCC’s new associate medical director at the Blackburn Center and Pat Buckley, associate medical director at the Old Town Clinic. Working together as teams and leading the way in innovation, it’s the culture of excellence which has attracted such dedicated, high-quality providers to the CCC family.*
*CCC has been honored to have Pat Buckley on staff for 13 years.
In 2021, CCC served 9,283 health patients, 7,027 of whom received primary care and 3,028 received mental health services. CCC is poised to increase the number of clients we serve and enhance our services across all our lines of service.
After rotating and practicing at dozens of sites around the U.S., CCC made the biggest impact on me in my training year. Not only for the creative way they care for under-resourced populations, but for the common passion the staff share to do such important work.” — Dr. Richard Bruno
The real story, however, is about the people CCC serves. Like Gary, also known as “Rev” who lives at CCC’s Blackburn Center. His story is one of resilience, perseverance and overcoming adversity. It’s a story that’s gone full circle, thanks to the resilience of our providers and the communities CCC is honored to work with every day.
Rev went from a successful career in tech to experiencing homelessness to being successfully employed by CCC. Along the way, he lost the love of his life and abused methamphetamines as a means of self-medicating his ADHD. He sought treatment at CCC’s Old Town Clinic from our world class providers. During that time, he adopted emotional support cat DeeOhGee. “I always wanted to have a cat named ‘dog’ without actually naming her that.” Eventually, Rev found his way to the Blackburn Center where he received treatment for his substance use disorder. Almost everywhere Rev goes, she rides on his shoulder. Even when he didn’t have an appointment or a class, he would visit Blackburn with DeeOhGee.
Rev’s counselor Phillip can’t say enough about him. “The thing about Rev is he just kept showing up, no matter what — using or not using, good days and bad. Even if his campsite got moved the day before,” says Phillip. “And he always told the truth, no matter what — whether he was in rage, grief, feeling hopeless, or any other struggle. Honesty is where recovery begins, so that made working with Rev a pleasure.”
After he graduated from the substance use disorder program in 2021, Rev secured permanent housing at Blackburn. Even if you don’t know him by name, he’s known as the guy with the cat on his shoulder. And Rev also worked with CCC’s Employment Access Center to secure work as a janitor at River Haven.
Our New Developments
In 2021, CCC both broke ground and completed rehabilitation on some very new and innovative affordable housing developments. Combined, these projects will bring 403 new homes to our community.
Cedar Commons
- Open date: 2021
- Units: 60
- Featuring community gardens
CCC completed and opened Cedar Commons, a new 60-unit building offering clinical services and support for people facing unique and complex mental health needs. The building also has community gardens providing nutritious food and therapeutic activity for the residents. Like many CCC services and programs, the voices of our clients experiencing homelessness informed the team-based service delivery model.
The Henry
- Open date: 2021
- Units: 173
- Featuring the new home of Flip the Script
After extensive rehabilitation, CCC re-opened this downtown Portland treasure. The Henry now features 173 new and rehabilitated homes for some of the most vulnerable individuals in our community, including veterans and those with experience with the legal system. The building is located in the heart of downtown Portland, with easy access to services, transportation and other amenities.
River Haven
- Open date: 2022
- Units: 70
- Featuring culturally specific homes
Portland has very few housing options for people early in their recovery journeys, when they are particularly vulnerable to slipping through the cracks after exiting residential treatment. CCC knows from decades of experience combining safe, stable housing with wrap-around services is a recipe for success. CCC acquired River Haven through Oregon’s “Project Turnkey” and is in process of converting this old hotel into 70 units of safe, temporary, culturally specific homes for people who would otherwise be homeless, while they transition through early stages of recovery.
The Starlight
(formerly The Westwind)
- Open date: 2022
- Units: 100
- Featuring a partnership with NARA
Located in the heart of Old Town Portland, The Starlight will be home to 100 new units, 70 of which will provide permanent supportive housingfor individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The remaining units will be for community members with limited incomes. CCC is partnering with NARA (Native American Recovery Association) and our Imani program to offer culturally specific programming for Native and African American individuals.
Crescent Court Apartments
- Open date: 2022
- Units: 138
- Featuring affordable family housing
Adjacent to Cedar Commons, Crescent Court Apartments will provide 138 units of affordable and supportive housing for low- and very low-income families, communities of color, and immigrants and refugees. Opening in 2022, Crescent Court will also feature onsite services provided by the Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization and after-school programs administered by the Boys and Girls Club of Portland.
Cynthia's Story
Living in a tent on the streets can be traumatic. It’s a situation Cynthia knows all too well.
After her housing situation with her daughter didn’t work out, Cynthia found herself living on the streets. Paired with physical challenges, life proved difficult. And then Cynthia met Casey Culley, one of CCC’s Community Health Outreach Workers. CCC’s community health outreach workers are charged with meeting people where they’re at. They carry heavy backpacks stocked with food, water and other necessities which they pass out to folks experiencing homelessness.
Casey visited Cynthia’s tent every day, checking to see if she was OK. As their relationship strengthened, Casey helped Cynthia get her birth certificate and driver’s license. He also alerted Cynthia when Cedar Commons opened. “...as soon as he found out that Cedar Commons was open, he brought down his laptop and we stood there, and we put out all the information and so I could be on the list to get into to Cedar Commons. It took me less than a week to get into Cedar Commons. To get my home.”
Cynthia has also benefited from receiving primary care at the Blackburn Center as well as mental health counseling. She looks forward to each day now. “Oh, my story is very important. Because I know there are other people out there that are maybe not in the exact same situation I am in, but maybe it’s similar. Maybe they want to get the help... It’s a complex [Cedar Commons] that’s so amazing. They have counselors there so if you need help, they’re there. They have peers that will help you out as well to get what you need to get done.” Cynthia has found her community at Cedar Commons, her home.
It is like a community. It really is. I’ve taken vegetables from my garden. And I’ve made ratatouille tarts because we had eggplant, zucchini and tomatoes. So, 90% of that tart was from our garden. And it was amazing. So, not only did the staff love it, but the residents loved it as well... And is wonderful to see when they take and eat things that are from the garden. Or even things I make.” – Cynthia
Empowering Through Social Enterprise
Central City Concern offers two employment social enterprise programs: Clean Start, a six-month mentored employment program that fills cleaning and maintenance needs throughout the Portland metro area, and Central City Staffing, a 12-month training program that provides valuable work experience for formerly homeless clients while also meeting the need for 24/7 front desk coverage at CCC’s housing buildings.
In 2021, a study showed that participating in these programs made a marked difference in people’s lives after completion. Eighteen months after starting, participants were more likely to be employed and stably housed and less likely to have been arrested than the comparison group, which consisted of people who opted for other employment services from the Employment Access Center (EAC).
Of the four organizations that participated in the study, CCC had the most pronounced results in employment and housing. Seventy-four percent of social enterprise participants were stably housed 18 months after starting the programs—a 24-point increase from the comparison group.
The Equity Steering Committee is Leading the Way
In 2020, our employees and clients were vocal in asking for increased accountability in the organization’s commitment to racial equity and becoming an anti-racist organization. In response, the Office of Organizational Development and Racial Equity (ODRE) worked with CCC employees to restructure the previous Diversity Committee into the Equity Steering Committee. The long-standing Diversity Committee has made many important contributions to CCC since its founding over a decade ago. Now, the Equity Steering Committee is continuing to elevate this work, but with some key differences.
CCC has new culturally specific programs because of what we’ve learned in the last two years.
“The difference between [the Diversity Committee and Equity Steering Committee] is the relationship with the Executive Leadership Team,” explains ODRE Manager Mariam Admasu. “The Equity Steering Committee has been formed to be a governing body overseeing CCC’s equity and anti-racism strategy. It’s embedded in CCC’s planning and operations.”
The Equity Steering Committee had their first meeting in February 2021. Since then, they have elected co-chairs, CCC employees Lexy Lawrence and Jennifer Benjamin.
President and CEO Rachel Solotaroff says, “One of the biggest parts of my job as CEO is to hold accountability for our commitments and actions in equity and becoming an anti-racist organization. The Equity Steering Committee is chaired by remarkable leaders and will sustain our work in equity for years to come.” In 2021, CCC also made progress on:
- Developing recommendations to strengthen culturally specific programs.
- Making Hooper Detoxification Stabilization Center more accessible for LGBTQ people and people of color.
- Improving data reporting on equity issues.
Policy Wins, People Wins
Central City Concern’s policy agenda for 2021 was focused on improving access to housing, health care, economic resiliency and social connectedness for people impacted by poverty, homelessness and complex health needs. We also advocated for reforms to the criminal and legal systems that have long perpetuated barriers to health and housing stability. When evaluating what bills we would support during the 2021 legislative session, we looked for bills and coalition partnerships that prioritized equity and anti-racism.
CCC worked to pass three bills which prioritized equity and anti-racism.
A record number of CCC staff turned out to engage in advocacy for the 2021 legislative session. We are incredibly grateful to have had over 400 signatures on five different staff letters addressing key bills, which included over 70 unique comments from staff sharing stories of impact. We had 17 staff attend 14 meetings with legislators and their staff, as well as five staff and four clients provide testimony at committee meetings.
Nearly all the legislation we supported was passed into law, and we were also able to secure key investments in CCC services. Legislation passed included:
- SB 291, which disallowed denial of a housing application based on arrests that did not lead to conviction and stipulated that before denying a housing application based on criminal history, a landlord must conduct an individualized assessment and provide the opportunity for the applicant to submit supplemental material.
- HB 2086, which made telehealth, including phone-only appointment, permanently covered by insurance providers.
- SB 397, which reformed Oregon’s expungement process by shortening wait times from 10-20 years to 3-7 years and eliminating most fees associated with applying for relief so old records don’t hold people back from meeting their goals.
OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH
Maintaining fiscal responsibility and financial health are critical to sustaining the work and community impact that has been our focus since 1979. Like many organizations, CCC continued to navigate an unprecedented year in 2021, managing a variety of challenges including the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, multiple variants and extraordinary socioeconomic unrest. Despite these challenges, CCC maintained financial stability and our level of service delivery.
We are especially grateful for donor support of our COVID-19 Response Fund and rent assistance funds. Combined, these funds allowed us to continue to deliver high quality care despite many challenges, including cost inflation, more intensive medical services, increased uncompensated care, and staffing challenges. Additionally, as affordable housing continued to be in short supply, CCC stayed focused on building more homes by launching two new housing developments, Crescent Court and The Starlight. We also completed The Henry and Cedar Commons and acquired River Haven.
As we navigate our fifth decade of providing critical services to our community, we will continue to invest our resources, reserves and hearts into providing healthcare, housing and employment opportunities to the neighbors in need in our community.
