body:
  City Council hearing
  Portland City Council is holding a hearing on the Downtown Portland Clean & Safe ESD Expansion Petition on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 2:45 p.m.
  Background
  Downtown Portland Clean & Safe ESD is seeking to expand district boundaries, revise the license fee rate structure, implement residential rate caps, and renew the ESD for another 10-year lifecycle. Along with this, the ESD is requesting a new 5-year contract for district property management services performed by Clean & Safe, Inc.
  Several recommendations from consulting firm BDS Planning & Urban Design will be implemented upon City Council approval, including:
  - The development of ESD license fee rate structure based on publicly available metrics
  - The continued inclusion of residential properties in ESD assessments
  - The implementation of residential rate caps
  - The continued establishing of guidelines on ESD governance, transparency, and representation requirements (e.g., proposed contract would require annual meetings open to all ratepayers)
  Downtown Portland Clean & Safe Enhanced Services District volunteered to use the City’s new recommended ESD Petition Packet to guide them through the expansion/renewal process. The ESD Petition Packet is another response to BDS Planning & Urban Design’s recommendations.
  If approved by City Council, all of these items would go into effect on October 1, 2025.

from: City of Portland Transition <Transition@info.portland.gov>
subject: Special Edition Transition Newsletter: Election Reminders 🗳️
body:
  We’re just a few days away from Election Day and we wanted to share a few reminders in case you hadn’t yet returned your ballot.
  Remember, you have until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5 to return your ballot. Find a drop box near you or if you’re mailing your ballot, make sure it's post marked by election day. If you're mailing it in on election day, we recommend going directly to a post office to ensure it's post-marked by USPS as mailed that day.
  If you need help dropping off your ballot or other accessible voting options, Multnomah County’s Voter Assistance team is here to help! Just call 3-1-1 or the elections hotline, 503-988-VOTE (8683).
  Help us share this message: only one candidate can be your #1. Voters must not rank more than one candidate as Rank 1 on their ballot. If they do rank more than one candidate as Rank 1, none of those rankings will count.
  We're still encouraging all Portland voters to rank up to 6 candidates that you support getting elected, but just make sure each of those candidates has a unique ranking.
  📢 Share our post on Instagram or forward our video that explains how to correct your ballot. You can also repost this flyer!
  Need to replace your ballot?
  Contact the Multnomah County Elections Division at 503-988-VOTE (8683). Their lines will be open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 7 p.m.
  On Saturday, Nov. 2 the lines will be open from10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and on Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.
  Curious about when Multnomah County will announce results?
  Multnomah County Elections Division will post preliminary ranked-choice voting results on Election Day after 8 p.m. and will provide regular updates until all the ballots are counted.
  How long does it usually take Multnomah County to count ballots?
  It is very common for Multnomah County to release preliminary results for between 50% and 60% of the total ballots cast for the election in their first results report at 8 p.m. on Election Day. They expect that will be the same this November.
  By 6 p.m. on the Thursday after election day (Nov. 7) they typically have more than 90% of the total ballots cast in the election processed, counted and preliminary results reported. Multnomah County expects that will be the same this November and will then certify results on Dec. 2.
  What happens after Multnomah County counts all the ballots?
  Multnomah County will certify results on Dec. 2, 2024 and the City of Portland Elections Division will present results to City Council on Dec. 18.
  The newly elected City Council will have their first City Council meeting on Jan. 2, 2025.

from: Portland City Auditor <Portland.Auditor@info.portland.gov>
subject: Audit calls on PBOT to improve evaluation of Vision Zero safety projects
body:
  PORTLAND, OREGON - An audit of the City’s Vision Zero Program released today by City Auditor Simone Rede found that the Portland Bureau of Transportation needs to enhance its measurement of safety project outcomes, fulfill some promised actions, and look for other data sources to lead to more equitable safety improvements.
  Vision Zero is Portland’s initiative to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injury crashes. Since its adoption by the City Council in 2016, the Bureau has aimed to reduce crashes, but recent years have seen an alarming rise in fatalities. The Bureau outlined strategies in its Vision Zero Action Plan to make streets safer, particularly for pedestrians. These included implementing projects designed to protect pedestrians crossing streets, reducing speeds citywide, and designing streets to better protect human lives, all while prioritizing safety improvements in areas where underserved and vulnerable populations overlap with most crashes. While the Bureau reported completing some actions related to these strategies, auditors found it needs to systematically evaluate whether completed safety projects are effectively reducing fatalities and serious injuries.
  Auditors recommended the Bureau create a plan to tie safety projects to expected outcomes. These completed projects should be systematically evaluated to determine effectiveness and where Vision Zero efforts are most needed. To aid in increased street safety auditors also recommended installing promised speed cameras. Finally, auditors recommended the Bureau incorporate more data sources to help identify smaller-scale improvements that could have positive equity impacts.
  “Street safety is one of the most pressing issues facing the City of Portland,” Auditor Rede said. “The Transportation Bureau must evaluate safety projects to see which are working best at reducing traffic deaths and serious injuries to zero.”

  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">Vision Zero is Portland’s initiative to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injury crashes. Since its adoption by the City Council in 2016, the Bureau has aimed to reduce crashes, but recent years have seen an alarming rise in fatalities. The Bureau outlined strategies in its Vision Zero Action Plan to make streets safer, particularly for pedestrians. These included implementing projects designed to protect pedestrians crossing streets, reducing speeds citywide, and designing streets to better protect human lives, all while prioritizing safety improvements in areas where underserved and vulnerable populations overlap with most crashes. While the Bureau reported completing some actions related to these strategies, auditors found it needs to systematically evaluate whether completed safety projects are effectively reducing fatalities and serious injuries.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">Auditors recommended the Bureau create a plan to tie safety projects to expected outcomes. These completed projects should be systematically evaluated to determine effectiveness and where Vision Zero efforts are most needed. To aid in increased street safety auditors also recommended installing promised speed cameras. Finally, auditors recommended the Bureau incorporate more data sources to help identify smaller-scale improvements that could have positive equity impacts.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left; color: #000000; margin: 0 0 14px;" align="left">“Street safety is one of the most pressing issues facing the City of Portland,” Auditor Rede said. “The Transportation Bureau must evaluate safety projects to see which are working best at reducing traffic deaths and serious injuries to zero.”</p>

  Happy Fall, N/NE Community members. My name is Ta' Neshia Renaè and I serve as a member of the N/NE Oversight Committee, a dedicated and engaging group of professionals whose work is guided by the N/NE Housing Strategy. For me, this work is fulfilling because it aligns with my deep-rooted belief that housing is a fundamental right and not a privilege. Housing stability is at the core of building a thriving, sustainable community, and I am proud to be part of a team that shares this passion.
  As we prepare for the colder months ahead, my heart is especially with those experiencing houselessness. No one should have to face the bitter cold without the safety and security of a home. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to continue advocating for policies and practices that ensure access to safe, stable housing for everyone – and my colleagues and I on the N/NE Oversight Committee are committed to working hand-in-hand with our Housing Strategy partners to address the challenges of rising home prices, interest rates, and rents. The struggle is real, but our resolve is stronger.
  I feel an immense sense of gratitude -- for being part of the N/NE Oversight Committee, for the work we’ve done, and because I’ve been able to achieve homeownership myself through the N/NE Preference Policy. This holiday season I look forward to enjoying special moments and creating memories with my loved ones. This strengthens my commitment to ensuring that others in our community have the same opportunity to create a safe and warm space to call home.

  The legacy of the pioneering scholar and educator Dr. Darrell Millner, who uncovered the history of Black people in Oregon, will now live on in the heart of North Portland with the new Dr. Darrell Millner Building.
  Joined by his children who also spoke at the grand opening on September 12th, Dr. Millner expressed true joy and a tremendous sense of accomplishment stating, "It’s an honor to see my name attached to a project that provides such vital housing for Portland’s Black community. This development represents hope for future generations and reminds us that our history and culture have a permanent place in this city.”
  Located in the Overlook neighborhood, Community Development Partners (CDP) and Self-Enhancement, Inc. (SEI) partnered as co-owners/developers to engage and serve the BIPOC community, furthering the goals of the N/NE Preference Policy to redress historical displacement and harmful urban renewal practices. The project contains 63 homes including 17 homes serving households earning up to 30% AMI. 48 units have multiple bedrooms to meet the needs of families with children in North and Northeast Portland. Notably, the 30% AMI homes are distributed proportionately among the unit sizes to ensure families have access to appropriately sized units. SEI’s onsite resident services coordinator assists tenants with navigating social services and accessing other community resources.
  Amenities include a small community garden, outdoor play area and courtyard, bike storage, and onsite parking spaces. Approximately 2,500 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial space are located on the ground floor. The Dr. Darrell Millner Building is within walking distance of two MAX stations and frequent-service bus lines #72 to Clackamas Town Center and #4 to Downtown Portland. Patton Square City Park is three blocks north of the site; a range of grocery stores, Providence Medical Group, and Kaiser Permanente are all in close proximity.

  A good time was had by all who attended the Strong Family Apartments groundbreaking on October 22nd! The Strong Family Apartments is the latest development in the Alberta Alive project series, an effort to provide more affordable housing stock in historically Black neighborhoods ravaged by eminent domain efforts and gentrification. The apartments will be reserved for households with incomes from 0% to 60% of the area median income.
  Developments like these will “fortify” historically Black neighborhoods of the area, CDC CEO Eric Paine said.
  “My mom was a civil rights activist, and also a community activist, and really was responsible for a lot of profound things that happened in North/Northeast Portland,” said former property owner Jackie Strong, who sold the one-acre property to the city. “So, we sort of vibed with her spirit…we wanted to make sure, one, our fingerprint is on this neighborhood and secondly, to do something good with the property that would be long-lasting. I realized that the city had this big goal of creating housing in the future…it just matched who we were as the Strong family.”
  The nonprofit Self Enhancement, Inc. and Community Development Partners co-own the site, and are working together to develop 21 one-bedroom, 32 two-bedroom and 22 three-bedroom homes on the property. The residential building is expected to open in March 2026.

  Portland Housing Center (PHC) initially launched its Post Purchase Program as a pilot on January 10th, 2024, inviting PHC Homeowners and community partners to attend and learn how the program supports and provides resources to Preference Policy homebuyers. It was a successful pilot that they are happy to continue.
  The program, returning later this year, will serve existing PHC/PHB homeownership participants offering non-delinquency post purchase counseling and workshops on topics such as home maintenance, estate planning, taxes for homeowners.
  A key feature of the program includes an opportunity for new homeowners to share their homeownership journey through storytelling! PHC and PHB would like to capture the homebuying journeys and experiences of our eligible homebuyers, and those willing to share their stories will be compensated for their time with a $100 VISA gift card.
  Portland Housing Center will be contacting eligible homeowners soon!

  Homeowners in marginalized communities often face unique challenges when it comes to securing affordable, comprehensive insurance coverage. Whether due to systemic inequalities or a lack of accessible information, many may unknowingly pay more for home hazard insurance than necessary. To help protect your investment and avoid being taken advantage of, it’s important to regularly review your insurance policy and shop around for better options.
  Over the past few years, several homeowners have reported saving thousands of dollars on their home insurance by simply re-quoting their policies. This highlights the importance of staying vigilant. Insurance companies adjust rates frequently based on various factors, including changes in your neighborhood, home improvements, or market conditions. By reviewing your coverage every three years, you ensure you're getting the best protection at the best price.
  Here’s why you should consider re-quoting your policy:
  -
  Rates Can Change: Insurers may increase premiums without significant changes to your home or coverage. Regularly checking for better rates ensures you’re not overpaying.
  -
  Competition: New insurance providers may offer better deals or tailored coverage options for homeowners in your area, making it easier to find a policy that fits your budget.
  -
  Tailored Needs: As your home or family situation changes, so might your coverage needs. Re-quoting gives you a chance to adjust your policy and avoid paying for unnecessary coverage.
  Take charge of your financial well-being by making it a habit to shop around for home hazard insurance every few years. This simple step could save you money while ensuring that you’re adequately covered.

  How the Waitlist Works
  We want to make sure everyone understands how the waitlist is organized. When you apply, your place on the list is determined by points, which are based on your connection to North/Northeast Portland. You can earn up to 6 points—up to 3 points for your current or former address and up to 3 more for your parent’s, guardian’s, or ancestor’s address. Those with more points are referred sooner, while those with fewer or no points will be referred later, after higher-point households have been offered units. Even if you don’t have ties to North/Northeast Portland, you’re still welcome to apply.
  Keep Your Contact Information Up to Date
  It’s very important that we have your correct contact information. If your email, phone number, or address changes, let us know as soon as possible. If we cannot reach you, we may have to remove you from the waitlist—and we do not want that to happen! Keeping your info up to date ensures that you won’t miss out on any important notices or opportunities.
  Security Deposit Assistance Available
  We’re here to help! If you’re approved for a unit in a Preference Policy building, you can get help covering your security deposit and other moving costs. We want to make your move is as smooth as possible. Ask your leasing agent about this opportunity approval for a unit within one of our open buildings.
  If you have any questions about the security deposit assistance program, feel free to reach out to Dyvisha.Gordon@portlandoregon.gov.
  Quick Reminders:
  - We process applications every 2-4 weeks.
  - Make sure your contact information is current—this helps us keep you on the list!
  - You’ll be referred to a property when your point cohort is next in line.
  - Security deposit assistance is available if you’re approved for a unit.
  - If you have any questions or need to update your information, contact us. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

  Born in Detroit, Michigan, Ramon Johns earned his BA in Biological Science from Mississippi State University. Seven years ago, he moved to Northeast Portland and quickly knew it was his forever home. Ramon currently works in the affordable housing sector, where he is passionate about fostering vibrant and sustainable communities. Having witnessed firsthand the impact of gentrification in Detroit, which affected many of his own family members, and seeing housing disparities in Mississippi, Ramon is deeply committed to creating equitable housing opportunities.
  Before moving to Portland, he built a career in social and corporate events and became a certified wedding planner in Michigan. In his free time, Ramon is an active member of PDX Frontrunners, an LGBTQIA+ running club that promotes good health and positive social connections through running and community events.

For me, this work is fulfilling because it aligns with my deep-rooted belief that housing is a fundamental right and not a privilege. Housing stability is at the core of building a thriving, sustainable community, and I am proud to be part of a team that shares this passion.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 10px;">As we prepare for the colder months ahead, my heart is especially with those experiencing houselessness. No one should have to face the bitter cold without the safety and security of a home. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to continue advocating for policies and practices that ensure access to safe, stable housing for everyone – and my colleagues and I on the N/NE Oversight Committee are committed to working hand-in-hand with our Housing Strategy partners to address the challenges of rising home prices, interest rates, and rents. The struggle is real, but our resolve is stronger.</p>

The Strong Family Apartments is the latest development in the Alberta Alive project series, an effort to provide more affordable housing stock in historically Black neighborhoods ravaged by eminent domain efforts and gentrification. The apartments will be reserved for households with incomes from 0% to 60% of the area median income.</p>

I realized that the city had this big goal of creating housing in the future…it just matched who we were as the Strong family.”</p>

The residential building is expected to open in March 2026.</p>

Whether due to systemic inequalities or a lack of accessible information, many may unknowingly pay more for home hazard insurance than necessary. To help protect your investment and avoid being taken advantage of, it’s important to regularly review your insurance policy and shop around for better options.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 10px;">Over the past few years, several homeowners have reported saving thousands of dollars on their home insurance by simply re-quoting their policies. This highlights the importance of staying vigilant. Insurance companies adjust rates frequently based on various factors, including changes in your neighborhood, home improvements, or market conditions. By reviewing your coverage every three years, you ensure you're getting the best protection at the best price.</p>
  <p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 0 10px;"><strong>Here’s why you should consider re-quoting your policy:</strong></p>

  <strong>Rates Can Change</strong>: Insurers may increase premiums without significant changes to your home or coverage. Regularly checking for better rates ensures you’re not overpaying.</li>
  <li style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
  <strong>Competition</strong>: New insurance providers may offer better deals or tailored coverage options for homeowners in your area, making it easier to find a policy that fits your budget.</li>
  <li style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; line-height: 1.4; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
  <strong>Tailored Needs</strong>: As your home or family situation changes, so might your coverage needs. Re-quoting gives you a chance to adjust your policy and avoid paying for unnecessary coverage.</li>

When you apply, your place on the list is determined by points, which are based on your connection to North/Northeast Portland. You can earn up to 6 points—up to 3 points for your current or former address and up to 3 more for your parent’s, guardian’s, or ancestor’s address. Those with more points are referred sooner, while those with fewer or no points will be referred later, after higher-point households have been offered units. Even if you don’t have ties to North/Northeast Portland, you’re still welcome to apply.</p>

The original study was inconclusive due to the small data sample, so Stanford University led a repeat of the analysis. They analyzed 95 million traffic stop records from 21 state patrol and 35 municipal police forces that were filed from 2011 to 2018. Their findings "indicate that police stops and search decisions suffer from persistent racial bias and point to the value of policy interventions to mitigate these disparities."</em></p>

  Greetings RDPO partners,
  RDPO Grant Updates
  -
  UASI ‘25: Applications are due Friday, December 6th. If you have any questions or need support, please email pbem-uasigrants@portlandoregon.gov.
  -
  UASI ‘24: OEM and the RDPO are working to finalize the UASI ‘24 Agreement. Ginger has reached out to project managers about the timeline, which includes EHP reviews (if applicable). We hope to start projects as soon as the UASI ‘24 Subrecipient Agreements are finalized (ideally January-February).
  -
  UASI ‘22: The process for reallocating unspent UASI ‘22 funds will be announced in a few weeks. Project Managers, it’s very important to submit your Requests for Reimbursements (RFRs) in a timely manner so we can accurately forecast budgets. If you have questions or need support, please email Ginger at ginger.hintz@portlandoregon.gov.
  RDPO in the News
  Communities in and around Asheville, North Carolina have been using the RDPO’s Emergency Toilet Guidebook to stay safe after Hurricane Helene.
  Also, the Language and Accessibility in Alert & Warning Workgroup (LAAWW) was recently mentioned in a Rolling Stones article titled Inside the Unregulated, Patchwork World of Emergency Alerts. The RDPO and King County Emergency Management co-founded LAAWW in 2021. The group now has 276 members from 46 out of 56 U.S. states and territories. Members represent cities, counties, research institutions, federal agencies, and advocacy groups. RDPO staff Laura Hall and Angela Carkner are on LAAWW’s executive board. Contact them if you’d like to learn more.
  RDPO Partner Highlights
  Bob Cozzie recently won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oregon Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) and National Emergency Number Association (NENA). Bob is a longtime RDPO partner and Director of the Portland Bureau of Emergency Communications.
  Brenna Cruz from Clackamas County Disaster Management and Jon McDowell from Clackamas Technology Services were recognized by Oregon Emergency Management Association for their collective work on the County’s dynamic evacuation map.
