“The Longest Night" Homeless Persons’ Candlelight Vigil in Oregon City
"Community Conversations"
In April 2023 HSCCC held five Community Conversations–public meetings to discuss a shared vision for solving homelessness through local partnerships. Specifically, HSCCC sought input on its approach to preventing and ending homelessness as an organization, and on its proposed capital project: a Center in the Two Rivers neighborhood of Oregon City.
The goal of these meetings were multi-pronged. At these meetings, HSCCC leadership and its partners sought to share information about HSCCC as an organization, to share information about the proposed Center to support preventing and ending homelessness, to hear the community’s thoughts, concerns, and input, and to record input to shape HSCCC’s path moving forward.
