3640 SE 28th Ave
7pm - 8:45pm
Interpretation will be provided
7:00 Board Officer and Committee Reports & Cookie Decorating
7:20 Village Coalition Presentation on Houseless Forums
The Village Coalition is working to assist neighborhoods in manifesting innovative, neighborhood-based approaches and relationships with unhoused people that build positive, material solutions to community challenges brought by unhoused displacement.
7:35 Portland Just Energy Transition Ballot Initiative
This will be on the ballot in May 2018. It aims to move Portland toward 100% renewable energy use by the year 2050 and address a social justice aspect of climate change. It would be funded by a 1% sales tax on in-city revenue from national retail businesses (e.g. Starbucks IKEA, Nordstrom), and would provide a stable source of funding and subsidies for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. It prioritizes funding for projects benefiting low-income and minority residents in Portland who are disproportionately affected by climate change and less likely to have access to projects like weatherizing and solarizing.
7:55 New affordable housing development at 30th & Powell - Portland Housing Bureau
The Portland Housing Bureau has purchased the land at 3000 SE Powell Blvd (currently home to The Safari Club) and plans to develop the property with up to 300 affordable housing units.
8:25 Community Announcements and Questions
Have a question for the Neighborhood Association? Want to let people know about something going on in the neighborhood? This is the time to ask questions and make announcements. To allow time for everyone, please plan to take 5 minutes or less.
