The city sits at the intersection of a housing and houselessness crisis. Many of us have a lot of questions – "what is 'affordability'?", "what is the city doing?" or "what can I do?"
You sent in the questions and we invited the experts.
Panelists speaking at
tomorrow's free and public forum are:
• Scott Awesome, a houseless Montavilla Neighbor
• Tim from the Roadies of Sisters of the Road
• Ravenwolf, a mental health and addiction professional
• Kelly, with a local community group Rahab Sisters
• Pauline, with Metro Home Share PDX
• Ibrahim, co-founder of Right 2 Survive
• Sally, with the Joint Office of Homeless Services
• Meg, a housing justice expert
Update: We've had so many interested speakers that events may run later than 2pm.
