designed to house 38 res-
idents. Funded through a
$2 million grant from the
MacArthur Safety and
Justice Challenge and ad-
ministered by Bridges to
Change, the facility will
offer culturally specific
counseling, education, em-
ployment, mental health,
and addiction services.
Abbey Stamp, executive
director at the Local Pub-
lic Safety Coordinating
Council, worked with the
MacArthur Foundation to
identify the need for better
support services for wom-
en of color who are navi-
gating the justice system
and specifically, who are
on probation.
She points out that while
African Americans com-
prise only six percent of
the population in Mult-
nomah County, they rep-
resent about 20 percent
of inmates in Multnomah
County Jail.
“We want to be respon-
sive to a community that
has not thrived or been
able to seek recovery in the
current continuum of jus-
tice services,” Stamp said,
adding that while there are
local Afrocentric transi-
tional services for men in
the area, no such options
existed for Black women.

Donovon Lyle Flippo, 23, was booked Tuesday in
connection with a homophobic assault
The Associated Press
A member of the right-wing Proud
Boys group was arrested Tuesday
after being indicted last month on as-
sault charges.
The arrest came a day after Mayor
Ted Wheeler complained that law
enforcement was essentially ignor-
ing violent protests in the city.
Protests occur often in Portland
and police have at times struggled to
contain violent clashes.
“In what city is it legal to engage in
a street brawl?” Mayor Ted Wheeler
asked Monday at a news conference.
The Oregonian/OregonLive report-
ed that 23-year-old Donovon Lyle
Flippo of Vancouver, Washington,
was booked Tuesday in connection
with a June attack.
He faces charges of third-degree as-
sault, a felony, and fourth-degree as-
sault, a misdemeanor. It wasn’t clear
if he had an attorney.
Flippo and another Proud Boys
member were indicted in connec-
tion with the June 8 assault of a man
who said the pair shouted homopho-
