Northeast Alberta Street gets an Earth Day spring cleaning. The annual, volun-
teer event returns Saturday, April 22, rain or shine.
Clean Up Alberta Street
The Alberta Street corridor will get a
cleaning Saturday when the community
group Alberta Main Street hosts its sev-
enth annual Alberta Earth Day Clean Up,
presented by Pacific Power.
Rain or shine, friends and neighbors
and other volunteers will focus on clean-
ing up litter, clearing storm drains, weed-
ing and mulching at bus stops and remov-
ing graffiti along Northeast Alberta Street
between Martin Luther King Jr. Boule-
vard and Northeast 33rd Avenue.
Volunteers of all ages are expected,
from student groups, church groups, local
businesses, area residents and neighbor-
hood community members.
“Everyone is welcome! It is always
wonderful to see people of different ages
and backgrounds come together and work
toward a common goal,” said Sara Witten-
berg, Alberta Main Street executive director.
Volunteer check-in is at 10 a.m. at Al-
berta Central on Northeast 18th and Al-
berta, and clean up starts at 10:30 a.m.
Awards and post-cleanup festivities will
take place immediately following the
clean up with pizza for lunch, Salt &
Straw ice cream, and a raffle featuring
prizes from local businesses. The cele-
bration will end around 1:30 p.m.
Volunteers are asked to bring their own
water bottle, gloves and any tools that
will aid in clean up. For more informa-
tion, visit albertmainst.org.
Section 8 Vouchers Dry Up
People who are on the waitlist for Sec-
tion 8 vouchers will have to wait at least
another year for the housing help.
Michael Buonocore, the executive
director of Home Forward, the housing
authority for Multnomah County, an-
nounced Monday that it will not distrib-
ute any new vouchers in 2017 due to fed-
eral funding cuts.
“We think it is the only fiscally re-
sponsible decision we can make in this
housing and funding climate, and we do
so with great regret for the families left

waiting,” Buonocore said.
He said rapidly rising rents and really
low vacancy rates in the city of Portland
and the surrounding metro area have al-
ready hurt the voucher program, making
it very difficult for veterans, families
and senior citizens to find and afford
housing.
“Once the federal budgeting process
plays out, we will have more concrete
information for the people on our wait
list and for the rest of the community,”
Buonocore added.
