Cascade Policy Institute is a Portland-based public policy think tank that blends support for private enterprise and market processes with a respect for civil liberties. It promotes a limited government that protects property rights and lets individuals pursue their goals. The organization serves policymakers and other public policy stakeholders through research and analysis grounded in market-oriented perspectives. In early 2021, Cascade Policy Institute published research addressing Oregon's homelessness crisis and released a report focusing on unsheltered homelessness in the Portland region. It operates as a small-to-mid-sized entity focused on public policy issues.
