Welcome to Homestreet-Banyan
Tree, where people can grow and heal.
Our mission is to assist people with long-term psychiatric,
emotional, or developmental impairments.
The origins of Homestreet-Banyan Tree, Inc. began twenty
five years ago, when two small non-profit mental health organizations
formed. Homestreet, Inc. was incorporated in 1981 to provide support for
people with mental illnesses living in the general community. The Banyan
Tree started as a group home operation in 1984, offering an alternative
to persons discharged from the State
Hospital . Both agencies were
started with significant support from family members, along with
faith-based groups, professionals, and good neighbors.
In 2004 these two agencies voluntarily merged into
Homestreet-Banyan Tree, Inc. The merger allowed a broader spectrum of
services to be offered by the single agency, while seeking to reduce any
redundant administrative costs.
Today, Homestreet-Banyan Tree, Inc. continues as a
tax-exempt charitable organization that offers case management,
counseling, psychiatric services, peer support (through mentors as well
as a consumer-operated drop-in center), and affordable housing to
hundreds of adults experiencing debilitating mental illness. Clinical
offices are located in Beaverton
, Aloha, and Hillsboro , Oregon
.
