What resources are there for a pregnant, homeless, teenager, with an ex-addict boyfriend who just left her?

• consider reaching out to a church community. They should be able to help her or at least point her in the right direction
• W current health care reform she should be able to receive free prenatal care through planned parenthood as well
• Saint Child offers housing, pregnancy and parenting classes, volunteers drive them to appointments, they can live there for a few months after the baby is born. http://www.saintchild.org
  That's assuming she wants to continue the pregnancy. I've had clients live there who plan to parent or pursue adoption and they've all had positive feedback about the program.
  If she's wanting to look into abortion (or adoption) let me know and I'll send more resources your way.
• This is also a great place to look up all sorts of Portland area social services resources http://211info.org
• Refer her to The Gateway Center or Rafael house they will help with transitional housing and resources. Just don't send her to the pregnancy resource center, they offer everything a pregnant women doesn't need! Other Helpful resources 211 and the Portland Women's Crisis Line (503)235-5333 They may be able to fast track her for securing a temporary housing situation since she is pregnant but there's usually a wait-list. Good Luck to her! 
• I second Saint Child- (this friend had a baby when she was 16 and had an adoption all set up- then decided to keep the baby.)  She has offered to share her story with you.  If you would like her contact information, let me know.
• Encourage her to find a doula to guide her on her pregnancy and birth journey. Many doulas will help a woman in need for free, and the value is priceless!  
• this is where I (holli) found my student doula:  http://birthingway.edu/services/find-a-labor-doula/student-labor-doulas/
• there are a bunch more resources to find doulas!
• Yes, 211 is a great start. Also Outside In. http://www.outsidein.org/
• Insights Teen Parent program through Janus is a greathttp://www.insightstpp.org
• Calling 211 would be best to get info on shelters.  She also will be eligible for transitional housing in her condition.  Rose city resource (published by street roots) is an on-line resource list.
• my suggestions from yesterday:
• Planned Parenthood
• Al-Anon- Young People's Meeting 7pm, Fridays and Taborspace
