We urge Portland City Council:
Reject the Camping Ban Ordinance

"Cities and countries that embraced housing-first have achieved remarkable success in reducing homelessness in humane, sustainable ways. Portland can do the same. These programs do not just move people off the street, they keep them housed. Housing-first strategies are more humane, cost-effective, and offer dignity and respect to those facing the violence of poverty."
Let's house all our neighbors, together.
