A structure (100) for a front portion of a vehicle includes: a windshield lower member (6); a cross member (7) fixed to the windshield lower member (6); paired damper housings (4) disposed in front of both ends of the cross member (7); and paired damper housing supports (5) arranged between the cross member (7) and the damper housing (4) to drain water. The windshield lower member (6) and the cross member (7) define a closed cross section K which extends in the vehicle width direction and serves as a second intake path (R2). The cross member (7) has, in rear of the damper housing supports (5), paired left and right outside air intake openings (72a, 72b) for outside air to pass therethrough. The windshield base member (6) has a blower air intake opening (62a) opened to face one of the pair of outside air intake openings (72a, 72b).
