Outside In social service agency in Portland, Oregon
Outside In is a social service agency founded as a free clinic in 1968 in Portland, Oregon, United States. Major initial funding and support were provided by the First Unitarian Church of Portland and private donors. Medical and counseling services were provided at no cost. Services provided by the agency include a multidisciplinary medical clinic for uninsured and under-insured individuals, a transitional housing program for homeless youth working towards a career or education and independent living, and risk education such as peer outreach.
Rock musician Elliott Smith had planned to work with the organization but never got the opportunity before his death in 2003. As a result, his family has chosen that a portion of the proceeds from his posthumous compilation album New Moon (released on 8 May 2007) will be donated to Outside In.
