SCREEN PRINTING FREE ESTIMATES 971-570-8214 FAIR PRICING Habitat for Humanity is celebrating a patch of new affordable homes in the Cully Neighborhood. Seven of the 15 Habitat homes at Cully Place on Northeast 57th and Killingsworth are now com- plete. Habitat homes are constructed with donated la- bor and the sweet equity of the new homeowners themselves. The Cully homes would not be possi- ble without the support of The Standard, Chris and Lana Finley, The Whiteley Family, and Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program, officials said. Each Habitat homebuyer dedicates 300 sweat equity hours as they build their homes alongside volunteers and later purchase the homes with an af- fordable mortgage. Habitat is the only organization in the Portland Metro area that consistently offers affordable homeownership opportunities to families making as little as $30,000 (for a family of four). Minh, a single mother and current Cully resident, gets ready to move into her new affordable Habitat for Humanity home in the same Cully neighborhood of northeast Portland. Foster Mom Sentenced C ontinueD from p age 3 to pay her mortgage, remodel her home and fund other retail, travel and transportation expens- es, authorities said. She was also accused of using some of the proceeds to fund other busi- ness ventures, including a media company, Big Mary’s fish and ribs restaurant in Portland, and to purchase and flip a commercial property. During the time of the thefts, residential house managers at the foster care home complained about a lack of basic necessities, including but not limited to food, toiletries and cleaning supplies. During sentencing, U.S. District Court Judge Marco A. Hernandez forfeited more than $451,000 in net proceeds Ayala received from the sale of a commercial property on Northeast Martin Luther King Boulevard that officials said she purchased with the stolen foster agency funds.

Cur- rently, all applicants must take this test; effective July 1, candidates with bachelor’s degrees and lateral experience will not be required to take the exam. All others will be required to pass the test within 60 days of being placed on the Bu- reau’s eligible list. The Bureau is also considering changes to the grooming standard policy to include, considering candidates with tattoos above the collar line. Currently tattoos are allowed below the collar, but are reviewed to ensure there is noth- ing that is sexually explicit, racial- ly and/or sexually biased or could be viewed as discriminatory. This standard will also apply to any tat- toos above the collar. Lastly, the bureau is considering changing its grooming standards to allow sworn members to grow a beard as long as the beard does not interfere with the proper fit of pro- tective equipment. “These changes to policies were made after careful review of our hiring process in the attempt to identify potential barriers to entry,” said Outlaw. “We will revisit the effectiveness of these changes after two years to determine if our hiring numbers have increased.” To learn about the entire hiring process, visit joinportlandpolice. com.
