''We believe that the establishment of multiple safe, legally sanctioned, managed camps throughout the city, such as Dignity Village and Kenton Women’s Village, will serve our overall community.

* ''Direct access to public transportation.'' |
|

* ''Managed self-governance.'' |
|

* ''Access to social services, including referrals to drug and alcohol counseling, employment issues, physical and mental health services, and straightforward access to school for children within the community.'' |
|
| ⚫ |
* ''A place for every person who needs one.'' |
|
| ⚫ |
* ''Transition services to permanent housing for all residents.'' |
|
|
|
|

''As part of the both short-term and long-term solutions, we request that the City of Portland:'' |
|
|
|
|
| ⚫ |
* ''Clear campsites located in parks, waterways and public paths, as well as camps where illegal activity has been documented.'' |
|
| ⚫ |
* ''Install managed camps in all sextants of the city. Each neighborhood should be held accountable to participate in the process by identifying appropriate locations for local managed camps."'' |
