The city of Portland is expected to select a local firm to develop a new, 200-bed homeless service center on Riverside Street.
Members of the City Council’s Housing & Economic Development Committee will discuss at a meeting Tuesday a staff recommendation to hire Developers Collaborative, which scored highest among three development proposals, the city said in a news release Friday.
Staff noted Developers Collaborative’s “extensive local experience with redevelopment of former public and private properties, its creative site design and modular type facility construction, and its proven ability to navigate challenging neighborhood and publicly controversial development projects.”
