City closing North Portland homeless village Hazelnut Grove January 19 2021
Commissioner Dan Ryan says most residents will relocate to the St. Johns Homeless Village, but activists have vowed to save the camp.
The end appears to be near for a North Portland tiny home village serving those who seek refuge from life on the streets.
The city s Homelessness and Urban Camping Impact Reduction Program quietly announced plans to decommission Hazelnut Grove Village on Jan. 18 saying that many of its 16 inhabitants will move into pods at the newly-built St. Johns Village.
Activists, however, are unlikely to abandon the village without a fight.
