HOW TO APPLY
Our application procedures are changing in June 2025. Most people in Multnomah and Clackamas counties, and a few in eastern Washington County, will need to apply on our voicemail application line if they want financial help. To see if this applies to you, check our Service Area map. If the phone number to call in your area is 503-235-8431, you'll need to see our new Application Atlas page.
For people in other areas, use the contact information listed for your area. Also see guidelines below for general information your local St. Vincent de Paul office may ask for.
