Project Home

When families are at risk of losing housing, acting quickly matters.

This spring, the City of South Portland partnered with Project Home’s Emergency Housing Fund to help South Portland residents avoid eviction and remain safely housed during a moment of crisis.

South Portland Forward recently featured this partnership in a short segment, including remarks from Mayor Elise Tipton about why the City stepped up to support local families.

The segment is about 10 minutes long and offers a meaningful look at what is possible when community members, city leaders, and nonprofit partners work together to keep neighbors housed.

Thank you to the City of South Portland, Mayor Elise Tipton, South Portland Community Television, and everyone who helped make this partnership possible!

Unexpected office visitors today… 🐣

We had some very special guests at Project Home today: baby seagulls!

Researchers stopped by to safely tag the gull chicks nesting on our building as part of an ongoing research effort to better understand local gull populations. And yes — we got to hold them. Yes — they were impossibly fluffy. Yes — everyone completely forgot what they were doing for a few minutes.

Our office may focus on housing stability for people, but apparently we’re also accidental hosts to Portland’s tiniest rooftop residents.

A big thank you to the researchers doing this important work — and to our little feathered neighbors for making everyone’s day.
