utside In, a downtown agency serving
homeless youth, including many sexual
minorities, announced May 8 that it has lost all
of its funding for mental health services. The
$38,000 Multnomah County grant was the only
funding for mental health services for Portland’s
street kids.
In less than one year, the agency says its
young clients made 84 visits to psychiatrists,
some for medication management. Outside In
cites two reasons why youth are not successful
in transitional programs: alcohol/drug abuse
and mental health issues. T he agency says a
study on Portland’s homeless youth showed
that major depressive disorder was about four
times greater than in community adolescents
and that dysthymia (a less severe but more
chronic form of depression) appeared to be
more than 10 times greater.

can. He is a clin

for Substance Abuse Treatment. “Dr. Westley
Clark’s courageous leadership in promoting
higher standards of care and increased access to
substance abuse services for underserved and
hard-to-reach populations benefits all of us,”
said association president Rodger L. Beatty, a
University of Pittsburgh professor.
T he group, founded in 1979, is dedicated
to the prev en tio n and treatm en t of al
coholism , substance abuse and oth er ad
dictions. Its mission is to confront hom opho

aries along the Columbia River.
T he homeowners, both lawyers, sued the
Fish and Wildlife D epartm ent and the Divi
sion of State Lands, claiming the agencies
didn’t enforce the nude beach rules. T hey
said people regularly trespassed o n their
property and could be seen performing sex
acts in their yard.
Mainstream media have given the story con
tinuing coverage in recent months but have
made no mention that the couples property is
near an unofficial gay section of Collins Beach.
The complaints about sex acts failed to specify
the gender of the offenders.
