There is a new village-style shelter site planned for the Montavilla community.  The Joint Office of Homeless Services at Multnomah County will be converting the property at 1818 S.E. 82nd Ave. into an alternative shelter site, with a planned opening at the end of 2025.

This site is separate from the Oak Street Village at 333 SE 82nd Ave., which is already under construction. MNA and JOHS have been working for the past eight months on a Good Neighbor Agreement for the Oak Street site, and we expect similar work will be done for this new site.

This first community meeting will take place on Thursday, December 5th from 6-7:30pm at the Montavilla United Methodist Church, and will focus on the proposed design and site layout. We hope our membership will attend, and use this opportunity to offer feedback to JOHS. Please RSVP at the link below.

There's no religious or political content. Just a one-hour workshop about ranked-choice voting that includes a presentation with a hands-on practice ballot.

Featuring speakers from WeShine, Beacon Village and micro village neighbors.

7:15 (Fireside Room) Exploring the Root Causes of Houselessness

This family-friendly event offers neighbors a meaningful opportunity to connect with grassroots organizations and to get involved in compassionate solutions. Come learn about effective and practical efforts to support our houseless neighbors. We would love to have you join us!

On November 15th, Bora Architecture & Interiors will host an online meeting regarding the construction of affordable housing on the southwest corner of Portland Community College's Montavilla campus. This project at 7705 SE Division Street will create 124 apartments contained in a four-story "H" shaped building. The development has space for 33 off-street parking stalls to the north of the building.

Our Just Future, formerly Human Solutions, will develop this housing project in partnership with APANO and Edlen & Co. Preliminary plans show the building massed towards SE Division Street with a green buffer zone along SE 77th Avenue. Apartments should range in size from studio units to three-bedroom family residences. All units are designated affordable and open to people outside the PCC student body.
