'''The Portland Ideation Summit: Housing for All '''
The event was organized by Brad Smith (WebVisions) and Sue Gemmell. Forty people attended, who had a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, including students, activists, houseless people, mental health experts, social services professionals, programmers, and people who were just interested.
A [http://www.hackathonforsocialgood.org/resources-homelessness-in-the-portland-area/ list of resources] was shared ahead of time.
After hearing seven perspectives on homelessness (see list in the schedule below), a system diagram was shown, that illustrated the cycle from housed, to unhoused, and back to housed (image to come). Participants were asked to think about what could prevent people from becoming unhoused, and what could help peple get housing. Also, what are the factors that cause homelessness, and the barriers that keep people on the streets? Participants wrote their ideas on post-its and placed them on large copies of the cycle diagram.
[[File:System cycle.jpg|right|300px|System cycle.jpg]]The next step was ideation - to think of a product or service that doesn't exist but would address some part of the cycle and prevent homelessness. Each group came up with an idea and presented it, very briefly. Then we had a pizza lunch, people could keep chatting and change groups if they wanted to.
After lunch, groups got to work drawing or writing up about their ideas, and in some instances building (the outreach tracker). At 4 pm the event culminated in final presentations and discussion, described below. All ideas were applauded.[[File:Schedule.jpg|right|300px|Schedule.jpg]]
'''Next steps'''
Organize events to continue developing these projects, and find resources to ensure they happen. A page has been set up for each project (see list below), and these are open for project members and others to keep building on and branching out from.

'''Coordinate wishlists across agencies''': (added as placeholder 25 April 2018, by Sue)
The Clackamas Service Center is in need of the following:
Toothbrushes<br/> Toothpaste<br/> Floss<br/> Denture cleaner & adhesive<br/> Deodorant<br/> Hand & Body lotion .... etc
I wish there was more coordination between local organizations for these things somehow. I know for a fact that TPI has a constant stream of almost all of that stuff, but of course you have to travel to old town for that and that's not an option for a lot of folks.
This could be solved with some info sharing tech. I have ideas; will follow up.

Reflecting on what you heard from the speakers, what you’ve seen, your professional experience, personal experience, homelessness, and sharing information with fellow participants at your table, think about the cycle of losing and regaining a place to live (large diagram is on the next page).
At the top of the circle, the image represents people in safe housing. Hading counterclockwise, misfortunes could send people on the path to living on the street. Job loss, illness, sudden unaffordable rent, for example.
Think of all the resources you know that could intercept the impact of misfortune, and return or keep someone housed. Rent aid, family loans, sharing homes, for example. Using the yellow post-it notes, write as many ideas as you can. Stick them in the upper left of the circle, around the smaller loop, labeled “hope.”
Use orange post-its to write and share ideas for barriers that prevent people from getting the help they need, and stick those on the lower left corner, between 9 and 6.
These events have the result of the people housed above now living on the street. What can you think of, and know about, that can trap people on the street? Instead of effectively using the resources, they cycle back onto the street. Write your ideas on the orange post-its and paste them in the lower right corner, on the small loop called “barriers.”
If people can avoid those barriers, resources will help, and they will reach a point of safety - indicated by 3 o’clock - and find their way back into a safe housing situation.
Discuss with your group what you see. What unmet needs do you see in the cycle? Where is help, communication, resources, missing? What barriers need to be removed? Use your imagination to propose new solutions. Your idea can be:
*Info system/app (for geeks);
*New concept in shelter (architecture/design);
*New concept in services (social, non-profit);
*Research and advocacy (policy wonks).
*Other - no constraints!
