The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1. The Council finds:

1. Metro has notified the City of Portland that it has been awarded a 2040 Planning and Development Grant for the Anti-Displacement Action Plan in the amount of $100,000.
    
2. This grant amendment furthers several of the Community Involvement Goals in the 2035 Comprehensive Plan, facilitating the meaningful participation of communities most impacted by displacement historically and valuing their wisdom and participation as we work toward more equitable outcomes. 
    
3. The full grant amount of $100,000 will be provided to PAALF to support a community organizer position for a second year. The organizer serves as a critical link between the City Anti-Displacement Action Plan project and the Anti-Displacement Coalition and leadership. PAALF was a partner in the Metro grant application.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

1.
