Portland City Council Homelessness & Housing Committee Meeting

Date: June 24, 2025

Summary

The Portland City Council Homelessness & Housing Committee convened on June 24, 2025, to discuss the North and Northeast neighborhood housing strategy report. The meeting began with a roll call and a reading of the statement of conduct. The committee acknowledged the frustration due to previous delays and the near loss of quorum which led to the postponement of the second half of the meeting concerning the unified housing strategy objectives. The focus remained on the North and Northeast housing strategy, which marks its 10-year anniversary. The strategy aims to address displacement and restore opportunities for community members who were historically displaced. Public testimony was opened to allow community feedback on the strategy, although no action was taken on the report during this meeting. The meeting highlighted the significant investment and efforts made towards preventing displacement, restoring homeownership, and expanding affordable housing in the North and Northeast Portland areas.
