We’ve been building toward this for months. Now we’re ready. In the new @StreetRoots, we unveil our plan for non-law enforcement street first responders. We’ve laid it all out as #PortlandStreetResponse. Please find your vendor tomorrow so you have the plan in hand.
Momentum began last summer for the need for non-law enforcement street first responders when @rwoolington and @iff_orMelissa reported in @Oregonian that 52% of 2017 arrests targeted unhoused people. @StreetRoots #PortlandStreetResponse oregonlive.com/portland/2018/…
