PHFS Moves Into New Home

PHFS Moves Into New Home

Ok, this actually happened a couple months ago, but we have been so busy that I haven’t had time to write a post about it. Still, better late than never, right?
Portland Homeless Family Solutions — PHFS moves into new home: Family Village.
After years of planning, hoping and hard work; PHFS has opened the doors (in December 2019) of its new facility in Southeast Portland’s Lents neighborhood to families experiencing homelessness. PHFS purchased the property, a former Church building, in 2017. With the help of many local organizations, companies, and individuals, PHFS has transformed the site into a place of hope for families in need of transitional housing. The City of Portland even kicked in $500,000 toward the project, the Joint Office of Homeless Services provided $300,000 and the rest came from private donations totaling $4 million.
The newly remodeled, 16,000-square-foot facility will operate as a 24-hour shelter able to house up to 25 families at a time. It has a day area for families that includes a library, computer corner and a children’s play area. Outside the main building are eight two-bedroom apartments, which currently house families. Stays at all of the living spaces are limited to 120 days. In addition to safe, secure and clean living space, PHFS also provides families with mental health care, life skills classes, rehousing assistance and other services at the site.
Allwood learned of the project in 2018 and immediately offered to help as a part of our Allwood Cares initiative. Seeing how much our Seashell strand bamboo flooring—combined with the natural light and open spaces—helps families feel at home makes us confident that what we are doing is all worth it.

The work, and need for support goes on.

Even though the hard work of building the Family Village is over, the need for resources to keep the doors open and lights on continues. PHFS still requires generous donations and assistance from the local community in order to continue its mission.
If you are interested in helping, please visit the Portland Homeless Family Solutions donations page and consider giving.
Then check back here, or on the PHFS website, for updates or the most recent news.

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.
