"As the region’s main agency addressing homelessness, how much input was JOHS given in the city’s recent plan to ban homeless camping and create camps?" "Zero. We had zero conversations with the city of Portland about this plan before it was announced." portlandmercury.com/Housing/…

Exit Interview With Outgoing JOHS Director Shannon Singleton

Singleton addresses the inner workings of the region's largest homelessness agency and the public's misgivings about its output.

The mayor’s office, along with Commissioner Dan Ryan, unleashed the best of the plans and the worst of plans, with no evidence that unhoused people had been thoughtfully engaged in its formation. So...

For too long, jails and hospitals have been our society's answer to houselessness. Decades of disinvestment in mental health treatment leave many with nowhere to turn. Embedding dignified, accessible mental health services into our community is possible: nytimes.com/2022/10/04/opini…

Replying to @NWPilotProject
Agreed that the vouchers would help at Argyle. And more residents of affordable housing need more hep. We need to convert more of our affordable housing to income-based rent, so people are not made homeless when their income fluctuates - the pandemic made that obvious.

Checking in on people, particularly your neighbors, friends and family who live alone, is still so important even during a shorter heatwave, and one of the best ways we can keep each other safe. Don't wait for someone else to connect. Have a plan to help: multco.us/hot.
Multnomah County, OR@multco17 Aug 2022
Even in a shorter heat event like the one starting today, please take time to check in with neighbors and loved ones — especially those who live alone, are older or don't have AC. Make a plan to help them get breaks from the heat. Find cooling options at tinyurl.com/coolplacesmultco.
