In Focus with CCC

Your monthly update about our events, news, programs, and more!

This month’s highlights: Spring fundraising, new Director of Donor Relations, new on the blog, and Dr. Andy got published!

Help us raise $100,000 by June 30!

In 2025, you helped support nearly 14,400 people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Because of you, thousands of people found care, hope, and a path forward.

Will you help more people find stability, care, and recovery? We need your support to raise $100,000 by June 30 so CCC can continue providing affordable and supportive housing, integrated health care, addiction recovery services, and employment assistance.

New Director of Donor Relations

We’re thrilled to announce Chris Wilhite, CFRE, CAP, as CCC’s new Director of Donor Relations!

Since joining CCC in 2020, Chris has helped grow donor support, strengthen our fundraising efforts, and build long-term strategies that will help sustain CCC’s mission for years to come. Chris brings deep experience and a clear passion for the work ahead!

New on the Blog

Meet the Mission: Primary Care and Pharmacy 

Healing is hard without a safe place to rest. Through integrated primary care, pharmacy services, and our Recuperative Care Program, CCC helps people move from crisis to stability with compassionate, whole-person care.

Why Public Policy and Advocacy Matter

Public policy shapes the systems our community relies on, and those systems affect people’s lives every day. For those looking to support CCC from a policy or advocacy standpoint, here’s what you need to know.

Dr. Andy’s Published Article

We’re proud to share a recent article that Dr. Andy Mendenhall, CCC’s President and CEO, co-authored examining the intersection of housing insecurity, behavioral health, and healthcare utilization here in the Portland metro area.

This study reinforces what many of us see every day: when housing instability and complex behavioral health needs intersect, the impact on health outcomes is significant.
