Recovery changes lives. So does having a safe place to call home.
This September, during National Recovery Month, The Peer Company invites you to step beyond what you thought was possible by rappelling down a downtown Portland building to support something even bigger than the 15-story climb.
Recovery Rush is more than an adrenaline-filled challenge—it’s an opportunity to help families rebuild their lives.
Every step down lifts a family up.
Together, we’re raising $100,000 to support 31 families who will soon call our new Permanent Supportive Housing community home, located just behind The Peer Company’s Recovery Campus in Portland’s Lents neighborhood.
Why It Matters
Housing creates stability.
Peer support creates possibility.
Families facing mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and housing instability deserve more than four walls—they deserve a community that believes in them.
Our Permanent Supportive Housing community will provide affordable homes where families can heal together while receiving on-going peer support from specialists who understand recovery because they’ve lived it themselves.
Your fundraising ensure these families don’t just receive housing—they receive a true welcome home.
