About the Rose City Resource

Eighty-thousand print edition guides are published every year and put into the hands of people in need in the Portland region.  The 104-page booklet is published quarterly with updated information and seasonal events. The Rose City Resource is available in English and in Spanish and has been expanded to the tri-county area. 

The 4" x 4" print booklet serves people who may not otherwise have access to a computer or social service agency, and allows individuals the opportunity to be independent in their search for services that fit their specific needs.
