@katrinahPDX it seems doubtful to me that solutions can come when key parties don't even acknowledge other key parties' goals and concerns. The mainstream homelessness sector keeps pointing to data on housedness outcomes from interventions, not aggregate results, and not other public concerns

[Katrina Holland @katrinahPDX]

Thread: COVID economic fallout did a number! The 2022 PIT snapshot says houseless population increased by more than 1,000. Not surprised in the slightest, unfortunately. Now is the time to buckle down on evidence-based, data-driven solutions that have proven to end houselessness.

[#3000Challenge @3000_challenge]

being flush with cash may work *against* results. Who needs to deliver results when you've ready been paid, and you're anyway tied up with matters like developing the new mgmt systems you say needed, and conducting extensive new hiring?

[Shane Dixon Kavanaugh @shanedkavanaugh]

The easy part: Portland is flush with cash and its elected leaders are eager to bankroll a whole host of new programs & initiatives.

The hard part: Actually producing measurable, meaningful results.

want to know about PDX area homeless services tax #MetroSHS? Skip @Oregonian rookie's efforts, b/c a) paywalled, b) driven by obvious opposition & campaigning against some positions, like @People4Portland; c) misrepresents as funding 'housing'; d) quotes same sources over & over

What to know about the Portland area’s homeless services tax https://t.co/KBEPZiQwhc

[Pere Ubu @PdxUbu]

@bradtheappguy @Rjaellis Yep. This is about half by my estimate. How do we get a better more accurate number? The tactics of PIT seem like the a way to get the smallest, least reliable number possible.

[Bradtheappguy @bradtheappguy]

@Rjaellis As one of the volunteers involved with this count I can say with 100% certainty that the numbers reported are no where close to accurate. Most people approached declined to be surveyed, and by the last day most people had still not been canvased.

[Rebecca Ellis @Rjaellis]

Multnomah County has released their first count of the region's homeless population since 2019.

The point in time count show 5,228 people experiencing homelessness on a night in January this year.

That number was 4,015 in 2019.

@OPB @LaurenDake for the thousandth time, does this media source mean to refer to "housing affordability" (the issue), or "affordable housing" (a product, and one possible response). Housing discussion is endlessly obfuscated & confused by this unhelpful & ambiguous terming.

[OPB @OPB]

Oregon voters feel strongly about a lot of issues but homelessness and affordable housing top the list. What will the state's next governor do to help people and fix a chronic problem that some voters see as unfixable? @LaurenDake: https://t.co/IGjteVZUmP

See also @NLIHC report https://t.co/jrKYvPyuNq. I've spent lots of time in SF Tenderloin where these mostly are, have friends in some of them. #3000challenge

This was not housing first nor was it master leasing. The city owned these properties. Further, they were not housing units, they are hotels and some aren’t even as big as a parking space. We can’t compare SF to master leading. I read the whole article.

Perhaps best-known system, in SF, I was around a lot while living there. See exposé by @TrishaThadani @JoaquinPalomino below, & discussion https://t.co/FrpEyBikGS

It's definitely not where to find open discussion of them, or sharing of varied ideas/responses from many sources, an objective of open initiative @3000_challenge

@SuzLopez @katrinahPDX @rationalinpdx @PdxMot the term "Nonprofit Industrial Complex" #NPIC came from #RuthWilsonGilmore, adapting Eisenhower's "Military-industrial complex"; from which "Homeless Industrial Complex" derived. c/@weheartprez (btw H.S. near-classmate). #NonProfitIndustrialComplex #HomelessIndustrialComplex

@suegemmell @People4Portland @InstituteCicero @3000_challenge @mkaiasand @DanRyanPDX @tedwheeler @pewtrusts @judgeglock @Mayfield4MultCo @GotNoPlace we might ask inverse: when/where in US etc has urban, unpermitted public-space dwelling been allowed, or advocated, & why? In a lineage of settlement, squatting, shantytowns, political use eg 1932 #BonusArmy & 1968 #ResurrectionCity etc #tentcities. c/@kristianreports @EricTars

[Tim McCormick @tmccormick]

@suegemmell @People4Portland @InstituteCicero @3000_challenge @mkaiasand @DanRyanPDX @tedwheeler @pewtrusts don't know but doubt @InstituteCicero funding or even particularly informing @People4Portland. I'd say pervasive & perennial practice, to restrict urban camping/dwelling if unpermitted, direct it to some areas; informally or formally. c/@judgeglock @Mayfield4MultCo @GotNoPlace

[Sue Gemmell @suegemmell]

Is @People4Portland funded by the @InstituteCicero? @3000_challenge, @mkaiasand what do you think? @DanRyanPDX and @tedwheeler is this @pewtrusts report familiar?
