*Authorize Intergovernmental Agreement with Multnomah County to accept grant funding for emergency shelter expansion for $6,621,827

Governor Kotek authorized capital and operational funding for the Clinton Triangle Temporary Alternative Shelter Site (138 emergency shelter beds) in her Oregon All In Executive Order plan. That funding passes to the Multnomah County Multi-Agency Coordination Group and to the City of Portland (the entity building and operating the shelter site).

Total project cost for site capital and operations for 6 months is $6,621,824, funded primarily with an Oregon All In grant. The grant number is MF000033. City will use funding at the temporary alternative shelter site and shelter operations at the Temporary Alternative Shelter Site at 1490 SE Gideon St, Portland, OR. City has full control and discretion over any and all operations and administrations of the temporary alternative shelter site, including but not limited to determining how funding will be budgeted for this temporary alternative shelter site. City has the authority to make any and all adjustments and modifications regarding the scope and breadth of activities and services that will be delivered at this temporary alternative shelter site. City’s obligation is $1,500,000 for capital site development. There is no additional funding requested.

This Temporary Alternative Shelter Site will serve up to approximately 180 chronically homeless individuals at any given time. It will provide safe shelter, as well as medical and behavioral health services, and navigation to housing. The service provider, Urban Alchemy, will also have staff engaging with individuals in the perimeter areas and in the surrounding neighborhoods (offering services to unhoused residents, working with businesses and housed residents, etc.). The surrounding communities received months of communication, provided feedback, and developed a Good Neighbor Agreement with the City of Portland.
