Why is the city of Eugene ignoring state law on homeless camping? Why won’t the city manager respond to our questions? And the mayor said a lot about policy, but not really anything at all about the law. The latest by @UO_Catalyst and @eugeneweekly https://t.co/yduL3nSJFJ

[Catalyst @UO_Catalyst]

Where's the Humanity? City of Eugene Ignores State Law on Camping.

Thrilled to announce I'll be joining @thecolumbian in July as one of its affordable housing and homelessness reporters! I look forward to continuing to shed light on these important issues.

Catalyst co-director Nicole Dahmen's latest solutions journalism research. Her study with @jnelz shows that foundations continue to fund solutions reporting because of its value in advancing conversations around persistent social problems.

[Nicole Dahmen @nicoledahmen]

My great privilege to co-author with the brilliant @jnelz. In this study we examine the @soljourno revenue project.

Big news for Catalyst co-founder and rock star researcher Kathryn Thier. @soljourno @UMD_COMM @UOsojc

[Kathryn Thier @KathrynTRex]

I'm not a big poster of personal stuff, but I'm too excited not to share that next year I'll be a postdoctoral research fellow @Mason4C. It's a dream to be able to continue researching climate communication, including solutions, especially with @MaibachEd and his amazing team.

[Alexis Weisend @weisend_alexis]

About four months ago, I requested camp clean-up work orders from the city of Eugene to see how often it’s moved unhoused camps since the pandemic. But I found something unexpected. Many campers only have two hours to move—not 72. https://t.co/yPYO26o7h5

[Catalyst @UO_Catalyst]

Our latest story for @eugeneweekly — on newsstands now. “The city of Eugene has hit Union Pacific Railroad with more than $216,000 in fines for failing to clear piles of trash from homeless camps along rail lines north of Franklin Boulevard…”
