a flyer dated 6/10/2020 and spotted today, from the '''Overlook Action Alliance''' (www.overlookactionalliance.org, domain registered 6/8/2020):<blockquote>''"We have banded together and petitioned the Overlook Neighborhood Association to hold an emergency cote on June 10th, at 6pm via Zoom call, to take immediate action anddemand that the City of Portland clean up the neighborhood. In voting '''YES''', we call upon the CIty Cuuncil, which has the financial means and executive power to solve this humanitarian crisis, to get serious about providing humane supportive housing immediate for our at-risk population and '''no longer allow camping throughout Overlook as a solution'''."''</blockquote><br />

"3 temporary campsites to open next week for more unhoused people to shelter in place."
Kaia Sand, ''Streetroots''.
See:
"After several weeks of intensive planning between city workers, community organizers and organizations, three temporary camp villages are set to open on city land.▼
"Forty-five tents are slated for each of the campsites which should begin opening early next week — one in Old Town and two campsite in the Central Eastside. A minimum of 135 people will have access to these shelter-in-place camps. Partners who already share tents could increase that total."▼
"On Monday, March 23, Street Roots worked with Sisters of the Road and Afro Village PDX to draft a proposal to the city with ideas for increasing shelter, hygiene and other health services in Old Town. A coalition grew, and JOIN began leading a coordinated effort steered by Victory LaFara who, as Dignity Village support specialist, brought knowledge on setting up village living. The larger organizing committee includes JOIN, Afro Village, Coalition for Communities of Color, Dignity Village, Gather: Make: Shelter, Ground Score / Trash for Peace, Hygiene4All, Portland Street Medicine, Portland People’s Outreach Project, Right 2 Dream Too (R2DToo), Street Roots, Sisters of the Road, The Equi Institute, and the PDX Trans Housing Coalition.▼
"Playing off the Star Wars' themed R2DToo the effort is called “Creating Conscious Communities with People Outside” – or C(3)PO. Organizers met intensively these last few weeks, planning with city of Portland workers, including the staffs of Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty and Mayor Ted Wheeler."▼

Second, hotel room rental will be a big, steady cost, producing no long-term asset, and meanwhile undercutting the possibility of alternatives. I propose that for the likely cost of hotel room rental, most cities could be establishing villages with incrementally-built dwellings moving on a path towards permanent structures and siting. E.g. as accessory dwellings or cluster housing. As San Francisco did so successfully with its "earthquake cottages" after 1906 earthquake, building 5600 within months that were all moved off the camp public-land sites and used elsewhere."
