If the project doesn’t get off the ground soon, Toran believes it would be in jeopardy of never materializing. According to a summary of the plan, the startup cost in- cludes $16.4 million to repur- pose 85,000 square feet of the site, and a yearly operating cost in excess of $18 million. Toran has reached out to Multnomah County and the Oregon Legis- lature to see if they would have any way of providing some of the cost, but hasn’t heard back from them yet. She added that once the government funding is secured, she believes local businesses and philanthropists “would be very responsive to the idea.” “What we have said is that if all of the funding streams were to materialize we would have it fully operable by fall of 2020. So that’s a fast pace, but I believe it is doable,” Toran said. The renovations would in- clude partitioning some of the open spaces of the facilities, and making the environment more welcoming, family friendly, and THE SEVEN LAST WORDS Join us in Jesus Last Seven Words on The Cross WHEN: Good Friday, April 19, 2019, 7:00 P.M.

Constructed in 2003 in the far corner of north Portland, the site has never housed a single inmate. Only incidentally has it saw its use for an occasional movie shoot. A 2016 petition to convert the fa- cility to house the homeless drew some support, such as former Multnomah County Commis- sioner Loretta Smith, but the idea proved unpopular with the other commissioners. In fall 2017, the county sold it to private developer Marty Kehoe for $10.8 million. Built by Hoffman Construc- tion, the site already has some amenities that could be used for providing public services, like a medical and dental clinic, and a full kitchen. Providence Health and Services could possibly co-locate a health clinic there, or set up services for “tele-health,” and both University of Portland and Concordia Univer- sity have expressed interest in ex- tending their respective nursing ed- ucation programs there, Toran said. There have also been talks of using it as a general health clinic, in addition to a treatment center, to be used by the estimated 1,700 employees working for different companies in the industrial district of the site’s location. Catering for a Cause, VOA’s program that teach- es job skills through charitable and community catering by enlisting former felons and other people get- ting back on their feet, could also be expanded there, Toran said. Toran has known Schnitzer—a prominent philanthropist--for many years, with VOA having given him a DePresit Award for Excellence in 2005. Upon his ac- ceptance of the award, Toran said Schnitzer visited VOA’s offices to become more informed of the or- ganization, which in turn, is why he reached out to them for this project, she said. “I think he has a high level of confidence that if we say some- thing is doable we have reasons to say it,” Toran said.
