How to use these resources

In these pages, you can find links to helpful websites and information about various resources local to Clark County and Portland. Each link in our list of topics can take you to groups of resources organized by category, making finding what you want easy. Every resource listed is followed by contact information, if applicable, and a description of what the resource can offer. 

Sometimes it can take a few tries to find the resource that can best help you. Don't be afraid to keep calling places until someone can answer your questions or help you out. Remember to be respectful, persistent, and specific in order to find the assistance you are looking for.

​Always feel welcome to call us for additional support navigating or using these resources!

Tips for approaching agencies

It may be hard to contact a resource/agency and know what questions to ask, so here is a list!
  • How can you help me?
  • Do I qualify?
  • Does it cost anything? If so, how much?
  • What are your rules regarding privacy and confidentiality?
  • In what situations would you have to call/notify my parents?
  • Are there any other resources/agencies you know about that I could benefit from?
  • What are the next steps?
During a call to an agency, take notes on:
  • any instructions they give you for after the call (such as documents you might have to bring).
  • the name of the person you spoke to and a call back number/email, or keep the original number you called.
  • contact information for other agencies they give you.
  • the address of any places they may tell you to go to.
If you are having any trouble or confusion, we encourage you to contact us for additional support.
