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.

'''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.
