As It Shutters, Beleaguered Shelter Operator Says All 175 Staff Will Lose Their Jobs
By Andrew Schwartz
April 10, 2026
Excerpt: "Late last month, WW reported that two homeless shelters funded by the city Portland would close after the nonprofit contracted to run them shuttered amid allegations of fiscal mismanagement.
"In a WARN notice posted publicly this week, that nonprofit, Sunstone Way, indicated the scale of the impact for its own staff: By the end of June, all 175 of them would lose their jobs.
"In the notice, Sunstone Way HR said it had 'anticipated the city of Portland would continue operating the shelters that Sunstone Way currently operates.'
"Instead, it said, it had just received notice from the city to the contrary. The 96-bed Centennial shelter that Sunstone Way had operated was now expected to close by April 30. A 38-unit pod shelter complex on Northeast Weidler Street in the Lloyd District would close altogether.
"Meanwhile, the letter added, Sunstone Way’s Naito shelter would, after June 30, continue to operate with new management.
"The resulting layoffs encompass a range of vocations. According to the notice filed with the state, workers losing their jobs include a mix of full-time, part-time and on-call shelter staff as well as case managers, office workers, and 41 people in management.
"Sunstone Way’s troubles date back years, WW has reported, and the nonprofit had been losing shelter contracts lately with both the city and Multnomah County. But its problems escalated rapidly in the period before it said it would shutter entirely. "
