In early February 2022 the Safe Rest Villages team announced that Cultivate Initiatives would be the shelter operators for the Menlo Park village. Located in the Hazelwood neighborhood, this site serves as a critical part of the Safe Rest Village (SRV) system, with distribution of services throughout Portland.
“Our team at Cultivate is eager to continue the work of uplifting our houseless neighbors in East Portland,” shared Y'Ishia Rosborough, Housing and Sheltering Director at Cultivate Initiatives. “We are happy to provide this service in the community we proudly serve.”
