Clackamas County homelessness town hall draws wide interest
More than 100 viewers, dozens of speakers show up to voice ideas and experiences
More than 100 community members from across Clackamas County tuned into a virtual town hall Wednesday, April 7, discussing the issue of homelessness and how the county can respond to help identify creative solutions to address the growing crisis.
Lasting about an hour and a half, the forum provided a space for county residents, business leaders, nonprofit employees and others to chime in and provide their experience on what different kinds of housing is needed throughout the community, and how Clackamas County could work with community partners and developers to incentivize the creation of those units.
