MISSION
Incorporated in 1955, the mission of St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, Inc. (SVDP) is to provide emergency service and aid to homeless and low-income people while creating opportunities for self-improvement and self-sufficiency through jobs, training, affordable housing, and recycling.

WHO WE SERVE
SVDP serves low and very low-income households with housing and services.  Many of the families residing in our units come from generational poverty, are headed by single parents, and have multiple barriers to housing stability.  Our Resident Services programs at all multi-family sites focus on educational programs designed to address these barriers. SVDP has recently focused on the needs of homeless veterans, developing 33 units of transitional and permanent housing with supportive services.
