(Thread). There are vacant apartments around our city, but they are mostly inaccessible to people experiencing homelessness. We can change that. streetroots.org/news/2022/03/1… #3000Challenge
There are two buildings on SE Gladstone that include a juice bar, a hair salon, a bakery — and apartments where people who exited homelessness live. It’s called Jolene’s First Cousin. streetroots.org/news/2022/03/1…
When Kevin Cavenaugh dreamed up this project, he expected neighborhood pushback. Instead: “these are going to be our neighbors and we’ll likely know their names.” streetroots.org/news/2022/03/1…
🧵Okay. @SamAdamsPDX proposed mass shelters for 3000 people. Putting aside what's alarming (national guard, warehousing): he’s thinking big — but not big enough. Transform that into something positive: create/open up good livable spaces for 3000 people w/out criminalizing them.
How about we as a community take up the challenge of finding livable spaces for 3000 people more quickly than – but alongside –the slow build of affordable housing. A lot of housing, even deemed affordable, still is focused on middle incomes (that’s how unaffordable our city is)
How would we do it? Project Turkey on a statewide level turned 19 motels into livable spaces — shelters, transition housing, apartments) within about six months thanks to the able-steering of the @TheOregonCF. Could we have a *Portland Turnkey*?
