Equal Opportunity Employer Advertise with diversity in The Portland Observer email ads@portlandobserver.com Shelter Answers Call C ontinued from f ront few years and has grown worse in recent months with a spike in no- cause evictions and rent increases that have pushed long-term, oth- erwise responsible renters out of their homes. While the city has been trying to build low-income subsidized housing at a rapid rate, there has been a dearth of mar- ket-place affordable rentals for the working poor and middle-class – or people who would otherwise would not qualify for government subsidized “affordable housing.” Scores of residents gave even more visibility to the issues on Friday when they met for a rally at Portland City Hall, only blocks from the new temporary men’s shelter, later marching into the streets to protest needless rent- hikes and demand a moratorium on no-cause evictions, which many feel unfairly target the el- derly, people of color, and families with children. Margot Black of the Portland Tenants Union said the new shel- ter was wonderful for the 100 people it will keep warm and safe at night, but said more needed to be done to prevent homelessness in the irst place. “We don’t want to minimize the importance of shelters and emergency housing or seem ungrateful,” Black said. “But we have to think of shelters as a root canal and rent control and regulating evictions and rent- hikes as preventative care. “ While many can agree they would like to see reasonable mar- ket-rate apartments for average working class people and fami- lies, the new shelter is considered a boon to the community, at least while it lasts. The space is expect- ed to be open for at least three to six months, possibly longer, de- pending on how the building’s eventual sale goes and how quick- ly it is transferred to new owners. Those precious few months could be crucial during winter and early spring when Portland weather is at its coldest and wettest. “That will get us through win- ter, which is a critical time for the homeless,” says Saltzman of the shelter’s projected run. He also urged other business and property owners to consider supporting the community in similar ways. “This is an excellent example of the city and the business community working together, and I hope we can do more of it,” says Saltzman. “If anyone else has a building we can use, we would be glad to hear from them.”
