wide and federal partnerships to
solve it,” Wheeler said.
“Some people need more than
an apartment key to rebuild their

Not only are those experiencing
mental illness the fastest growing
segment of the homeless popula-
tion in Multnomah County, but
those afflicted by both are often
severely over-represented in the
criminal justice system in Port-
land and they’ve been known to
receive harsh treatment from po-
lice.
Officials are calling on the de-
velopment and service provider
industries for cost efficient, inno-
vate home designs, with integrated
supportive services for homeless
and the mentally ill. They hope
to expand permanent supportive
housing over the coming decade,
by roughly 200 units per year.

also be a combination of the two
routes.
The King Neighborhood said
it asked residents to weigh in on
the choices because the routes
may close automobile traffic lanes
in some areas, cut through Irving
Park and otherwise impose “con-
siderable impact.”
Nick Falbo, senior transporta-
tion planner for PBOT, will give a
presentation on the two routes and
be available for questions.
In addition, interested neigh-
bors may review the proposed
routes and make comments by go-
ing directly to the Greenway Proj-
ect’s website at PortlandOregon.
