Portland Homeless Family Solutions

allwood-cares
An amazing organization.
Portland Homeless Family Solutions (PHFS) is a local organization that provides assistance to homeless families with children—offering temporary emergency shelter, housing and prevention services, teaching life skills to help families achieve self sufficiency, and advocating for the alleviation of family homelessness.
How remarkable is that? They could have stopped at just giving families a place to stay. But went above and beyond, creating programs for learning, and resources to help get them back on their feet…that is amazing! So, when Allwood learned PHFS was building a new campus we knew we wanted to be a part.
New Lents Neighborhood Campus
In 2018, PHFS successfully raised funding needed to purchase a property in the Lents neighborhood. The property will become the new Portland Homeless Family Solutions headquarters, and will be comprised of a 16,000ft2 building and eight 2-bedroom apartments. The location will operate as an emergency family shelter for 26 families a night, be the home of PHFS’ housing and prevention programs, and offer wrap-around services like mental healthcare, childcare, life skills training, and more. In addition, the new campus includes an acre of land which PHFS plans to develop into long-term housing affordable to people making very low incomes around 2020.
We reached out and are so excited to say the new PHFS Lents Campus will have Allwood floors.

The perfect color for healing.
The interior color pallet PHFS has chosen is intended to help build dignity, restore power, and promote autonomy based on “trauma-informed” architecture and design. It just so happen Seashell was the perfect color. Seashell is a part of our engineered Bamboo line. In addition to its environmental benefits, Bamboo is an extremely hard-wearing material when manufactured to Allwood’s standards. It is naturally resistant to moisture and is very durable. This—along with Seashell’s tranquil color—made it the ideal choice for the new PHFS campus.
What you can do.
Homelessness is a serious issue in the United States, and one that will not go away without all of us working together toward a solution. According to a report published in 2017 over half a million people in the U.S. are living on the streets, in cars, in homeless shelters, or in subsidized transitional housing. There are many causes that lead to a person becoming homeless. One of the most effective solutions is exactly the service Portland Homeless Family Solutions provides, re-connecting people with housing services. However they can’t do it alone, and it isn’t free. But it is worth the cost. Decreasing homelessness benefits all of us, much more than for just those who find a home. In fact, research has revealed many economic advantages to housing the homeless population.
If you are interested in volunteering or donating, visit the Portland Homeless Family Solutions website.

UPDATE: The project has been completed, and it looks amazing!

Amazing products is what we make. Helping others is what we love. Our Story

DEDICATION TO CARING

Our promise is really very simple...we care. We care about the products we make, the people we work with, and the planet we all share.

Caring is why we are very selective of who can sell Allwood products, because we know how hard our retail partners work and we want to forge lasting relationships with them. Concentrating on hand-picked showrooms in strategic locations, and giving them the tools they need, helps our partners to provide exceptional service and creates the best consumer experience possible.

And Caring is also why we focus on developing products that are responsibly produced, precision crafted, and sustainably made from 100% real wood or bamboo. Not only do we want to be good stewards of natural resources, we strive to be conscientious of what we are leaving behind as well. Wood is the only flooring product that comes from, and returns back to, the earth. That’s why you will never find printed laminates, plastics, or unnatural materials at Allwood.

Builders prefer working with Allwood products because they are made to exact quality standards. Designers appreciate the selection of relevant colors and styles. And home owners love that Allwood floors continue looking great even years after installation.

This dedication to caring has underscored our first two decades in business. And now, as we move into our next twenty years, it drives us even more to make the best floors we can—putting people and planet first.

BECOME A DISPLAYING RETAILER

You’ve seen our products. You like how they look. And maybe you are wondering how to become one of our trusted partners. It’s important you know we select only a limited number of retail locations within each region. That way, we can focus on quality, availability, and great service. And you can concentrate on helping your customers with less worry about other competitive retailers in your area. We also understand the value of showroom real estate and want to give you the tools you need without eating up valuable space.We try to create a complete product offering in a small footprint. For greater flexibility, we have multiple displaying programs that include the entire Allwood portfolio or separate programs for the Hardwood and Bamboo lines. The Allwood brand is growing rapidly, we are adding new partners all the time. So, if you are interested, make sure to contact us today at 1-503-255-7976 or CARE@Allwoodgrp.com.

CARB2 COMPLIANCE

The California Air Resources Board Phase 2 (CARB2) is a certification process by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with an aim to reduce formaldehyde emissions and protect the public from airborne toxic contaminants. Gaining the CARB2 compliant seal indicates a product has formaldehyde levels well within what CARB2 limits considers safe. Fitting with our values, Allwood ensures all of our products either meet or exceed environmentally conscientious standards, and make the choice to have our products all CARB2 certified.
