The data makes it clear, tenants in eviction court are not given a fair trial. Eviction Representation for All will make sure all Multnomah County tenants are represented. Want to get involved? —> eratenants.org
Unfortunately, this problem is not limited to Old Town, as the article implies. We deal with people having episodes frequently at R2DToo, as well as at C(3)PO when we were managing it. It's tough. wweek.com/news/2021/09/29/hi…

Yes, it does sound familiar!
Funny, this sounds a lot like a dark money 501(c)(4) recently started in Portland. Is this some dubious franchise, or a bad idea run amok?

The Joyce was the place we put our first ever guest at R2DToo, while we worked on getting him housing and healthcare. (Aging & Disability came through for him and us!) It wasn't luxurious, but it was safe and cheap, /1 wweek.com/news/2021/09/22/th…

...and a lot of Portland's unhoused stayed there when they really needed off the streets. It's a shame it has been closed since 2017. That's a lot of people denied a resource while the city dithered.

Public and private entities work together to increase policing, especially in downtown, almost exclusively targeting poor and unhoused people. Sept. 22 at 6pm we'll unravel these relationships including ESDs/BIDs, campus police, TriMet, and G4S and how people are fighting back!

Facinating to see which neighborhoods had the most complaints, and which had very few (the majority). oregonlive.com/data/2021/09/…
