The Services Directory
This page is all about finding all sorts of assistance.
BTW, if you need to quit this site immediately due to a threat or a need for privacy, click the QUIT button—every page in The Directory will have one. It won't clear your browsing history but it will take you to a cover site.
Here are links to the kinds of assistance listed:

If you can't find what you're looking for here, the Portland-area Street Roots Rose City Resource is an excellent source of all kinds of up-to-date information.
Please note: If there's a category that isn't here but that would be helpful for you, or if you've found a place or service that should be listed as a resource, please email me at dick@dickwillis.com. Thanks! (Also, I'm working on a mobile device app for the Directory.)
