In response to a critical audit, the City is improving a program that allows property owners to fund extra services such as graffiti and trash removal, social service outreach and special events. Portlanders are invited to take a survey, attend listening sessions and sign up for email updates.
A new contract approved by City Council provides support to local businesses and expands access to safety and care services for unhoused community members. It is supported by property owners in the Central Eastside Enhanced Service District and managed by Central Eastside Together.
