Community Guidelines
Good Neighbor Agreement
The City of Portland has recently updated its community engagement strategy around all City contracted shelters. Although the City is no longer creating new Good Neighbor Agreements (GNA), previously established GNA commitments pertaining to livability will be honored. Please read the updated Community Engagement Page to see the City's standardized engagement strategy, which is available to all community members. Note: Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meetings as previously structured will be phased out.
Engagement History at N Portland Rd
As the shelter is now open, to fulfill our mandate to provide shelter and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness, we are also excited to build a relationship between the shelter and its neighboring communities.
We hosted our first shelter-focused community meeting in October 2024. In that meeting, we discussed our Good Neighbor Commitments and heard from the community that there is interest in a Good Neighbor Agreement. Representatives from the City Shelter Services Team and Portland Solutions shared the engagement process we built from our experience managing our shelter portfolio. We shared how the City has successfully established regular, productive communication avenues for nearby community stakeholders. We also asked for feedback from the community about any specific concerns related directly to the N Portland Rd shelter. You can read the report about this meeting here.
In our second meeting, City representatives will present a Good Neighbor Agreement, if there is voiced interest within the stakeholders, including a clear communication structure, informed by City and community stakeholder input. Community stakeholders will have the option to sign the document and join a Community Advisory Committee, where interested parties can productively contribute to the shelter’s success and problem solve around issues if they arise.
