Our organization is focused on making a real-world impact and highlighting success stories that inspire hope and resilience.
Why Does HRSN Exist?

Food insecurity worsens chronic disease

About S.C.P.
Summit Care Partners (SCP) is a Portland-based Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) provider dedicated to improving health outcomes by addressing housing instability and the social conditions that impact well-being. We partner with Oregon Health Plan members to deliver Outreach & Engagement and Tenancy Support services that help individuals obtain, maintain, and stabilize housing.
“Building Stability, One Member at a Time.”
Our Foundation
At SCP, we understand that stable housing is the foundation for physical health, mental wellness, and long term opportunity. Our work bridges the gap between healthcare and housing by guiding members through complex systems, advocating alongside them, and coordinating the services that make stability possible.
Person-Centered
Rooted in community and driven by compassion, we serve individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity with trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and person-centered care. We are committed to accountability, integrity, and measurable outcomes. Ensuring that every referral becomes meaningful support and every interaction moves someone closer to stability.
Who are we?
Summit Care Partners is more than a service provider. We are advocates, navigators, and trusted partners working to build a healthier, more stable Portland, one member at a time.
