Study Centers
The Portland Housing Authority Study Centers offer one-on-one and small group support during the academic year. Though adults are welcome to attend during the afternoon hours when children are there, the centers are open in the mornings when youth are in school in order to provide specific attention to adults that want to use the space. The Study Centers have internet, computers, printers, scanners, photocopiers, and other resources available as well as staff on site to offer support and connection with resources.
More information about the Study Centers, including locations and schedules, can be found here.
