Agenda Title: Resolution of Support for Tigard Downtown Alliance (TDA) Main Street Designation
Authored By: Steve Rymer
Presented By: Economic Development Manager Purdy
Item Type: Motion Requested
Public Hearing No
Legal Ad Required?:
Publication Date:
Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
The Tigard Downtown Alliance is seeking Tigard City Council endorsement of the nonprofit's participation in the State
of Oregon Main Street program and application for designation as a State recognized Main Street program. Main Street
designation by the State of Oregon requires an application which includes a resolution of support from the local
municipality.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the resolution of support for the Tigard Downtown Alliance's Oregon Main Street designation application.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Tigard Downtown Alliance (TDA) has operated as a volunteer-led downtown revitalization program for ten years.
The program formally incorporated as a nonprofit in 2016. In 2023,the TDA hired a full-time Director to lead local
volunteer efforts--meeting a key element in State of Oregon certification.
The State of Oregon Main Street program follows a national"Main Street"model which provides program
benchmarks,goals,technical assistance,and guidance for downtown programs like the TDA.This guidance includes
coaching on the national"Four-Point Main Street Approach,"encouraging local programs to work in four focus areas
—Economic Vitality,Design,Promotion and Organization. Successful downtown revitalization programs include
participation by a range of downtown stakeholders including residents,business owners,property owners,and
community partners working in teams on projects in each of the four focus areas.
In support of the TDA,the City of Tigard has provided more than$342,000 in funding to the nonprofit since 2016 for
capacity building,capital investments,and event management.The City endorses the TDA as a key community partner
for addressing and solving complex and challenging downtown issues like commercial vacancies,parking constraints,
real-estate redevelopment,commercial tenant mix and a changing local economy.
ALTERNATIVES &RECOMMENDATION
Without passing a local resolution of support,the TDA's application to the State of Oregon for Main Street designation
will lack a key indicator of local support. Staff recommend council pass the attached resolution of support.

Please answer the following questions about your proposed downtown.
1 . Provide a brief overview about your downtown or neighborhood commercial district. Include
information about the early history of the district, economic forces at work in the area, key turning
points in the district's decline (and rebirth), and where it is today.
For several decades, Tigard, Oregon has been regarded as a suburban enclave with a rustic charm,
nestled adjacent to Portland. The downtown Main Street district, characterized by a mixed-use
"post-WW2 construction design," houses a diverse array of boutique retail shops and restaurants.
However, the commercial landscape faced challenges, experiencing a downturn, particularly during
the recession that began in 2008. Since 2013, Tigard Main Street has undergone a significant
revitalization through the Main Street Green Street Phase 1&2 construction projects. These
transformative phases have laid the foundation for a flourishing community, attracting new retail
establishments and restaurants to fill storefronts. Noteworthy additions to the area include economic
drivers like Curiosities Vintage (a sprawling 90-stall vintage market), Symposium Coffee (a living
room-style coffee house-their second location), Cooper Mountain Ale Works (a microbrewery that has
expanded to three locations), Beach Hut Deli (a traditional sandwich shop offering a variety of
beverages and salads that has expanding to two locations), and Tigard Tap House (a beer tap house
housed in a converted craftsman house). Tigard Main Street boasts enduring boutique retail
establishments such as Musi's on Main, Sheri's Jewelry Box, and Main Street Stamp and Stationary,
all of which are generational operated businesses. Recent additions to the economic landscape
include a wine bar, a sangria bar, and a micro-manufacturer specializing in cabinetry.
2. Please describe the characteristics that you feel make the district a cohesive and recognizable
district with distinct features or architectural character.
Beyond the transformative Main Street Green Street initiatives highlighted earlier, what sets Tigard's
Main Street district apart is the plethora of captivating art installations and mural projects that have
been seamlessly integrated throughout the course of its transformation. A total of 26 significant
installations now grace our Main Street district, contributing to its distinct character and vibrant
atmosphere. To explore these artistic endeavors in detail, a dedicated section on our website,
exploredowntowntigard.com, offers an interactive showcase of each installation's location and
background.These art installations serve as more than mere embellishments; they are a testament to
the community's commitment to aesthetic enrichment and cultural expression. In essence, these art
installations and mural projects are not just embellishments but integral components of Tigard's
narrative, telling a story of evolution, creativity, and community pride. They encapsulate the spirit of the
Main Street district's revival, fostering a sense of identity and connection among those who walk the
streets. As we continue to evolve, cultivating a visually engaging and culturally enriched urban
environment is our goal.

3. Describe the physical boundaries for your proposed Main Street district and why you have
selected those boundaries.
Our Main Street district encompasses the storefronts along Main Street, stretching from Maplewood
Drive to Scoffins Street. Additionally, we've incorporated select businesses on Burnham Street that
align with the essence of boutique retail and restaurants. This demarcation is purposeful, as it ensures
a manageable scope that can be addressed with the Main Street Approach and the practicality of
addressing the needs of the given number of storefronts and spaces effectively. Expanding beyond
this delineated boundary could potentially render the area unmanageable, emphasizing the
importance of maintaining a focused and strategic approach to foster the district's distinction and
cohesiveness.

5. Please describe any major revitalization efforts previously undertaken by the public and/or private

projects, and description of outcomes.
Private Ava's Rosteria Project: The site consists of two adjacent tax lots comprising approximately 0.
44 acres in downtown Tigard. The site was developed with three contiguous wood-frame commercial
buildings. The westernmost building was dilapidated and had been vacant for some time. The central
and easternmost buildings were occupied by an emblem and badge shop and an automotive drivetrain
shop. Historical uses of the site had included multiple tenants that used and stored petroleum products
and/or solvents leaving soil containing toxic petroleum hydraocarbons and high concentrations of
colatile organic compouds. These findings and research efforts began in 2015. Slated for opening in
2024 is a three-story, mixed-use building overlooking Fanno Creek that will house a beaverton bakery,
main roasting facility, a coffee house, and apartments on the upper floors.
Public Universal Plaza Project: The city purchased the plaza site in 2014 and paid Ferguson Plumbing
$450,000 to terminate its lease on the site, and relocate, making way for plaza design and
development to begin. Time was spent clearing the site, then hosting a series of temporary art
installations to garner feedback from the community on the potential use of the site. Universal Plaza is
now an ADA friendly, walkable, and accessible plaza including an interactive water feature & splash
pad, community tables, two event lawns and landscaping, 4-stall restroom Bike and pedestrian
connection and boardwalk overlooking Fanno Creek, and food carts. The Phase 1 grand opening was
held on April 15, 2023.

7. How do you believe the community and your organization will benefit from being selected as a
Designated Downtown?
The establishment of a Designated Downtown will bring significant advantages to our community. Our
team is committed to diligently implementing the Main Street Approach, fostering a tangible
transformation strategy. As a result, the community will enjoy an expanded employment base, the
cultivation of innovative businesses contributing to Tigard, local profits circulating within the town to
support other organizations and businesses, and a heightened sense of community and place for
residents. Ultimately, attaining Designated Downtown status aligns with the collective desire of Tigard
residents to have a downtown they can take pride in.
The Tigard Downtown Alliance, established in 2014, is currently highly motivated to realize and
cultivate the Four-Point Approach in our downtown area, as evidenced by our notable progress in the
last two years. The journey toward achieving Designated Downtown status has predominantly involved
soliciting, observing, and securing support from local government, citizens, and stakeholders. This
designation is pivotal in enabling us to stay faithful to the Four-Point Approach and successfully
execute the work plans outlined in our transformation strategy.

2. Spearheaded by Lloyd Purdy, the Economic Developer for the City of Tigard, the innovative "Launch
Pod" food cart incubator program aims to catapult new eateries and drinking establishments into the
culinary scene. By providing low overhead costs and essential equipment, the program nurtures these
ventures, with the ultimate goal of transitioning them into permanent brick-and-mortar establishments.
3. Our community boasts two expansive plaza areas—Universal Plaza and Rotary Plaza—that serve as
popular hubs for events. These versatile spaces host a myriad of activities, from year-round events and
concerts to various community gatherings.
4. Fostering community unity and enjoyment, our four longstanding events have become integral
fixtures throughout the year. Moving beyond a mere event-driven approach, these perennial highlights
include Art Week, Street Fair, Trick or Treat Main Street, and the enchanting Holiday Tree Lighting.
5. Nestled within the Jeffrey Allen Gallery on Main Street is a truly unique temple, showcasing Dao Mau
religious practices originating in Vietnam. The temple's authentic, hand-carved structure was

Department of Housing Services and our community-based providers are building that
hope for the individuals and families we serve.
In our second year, Washington County continued to significantly scale our homeless
system of care, adding more case managers, shelter beds, and housing placement
options.We met nearly all the ambitious goals we set for the program year,and significantly
surpassed our expectations in expanding shelter capacity and placing formerly homeless
households in supportive housing. Growing pains persist as the work expands faster than
we can hire. And still, our mission-based partnerships push us forward as we house and
shelter our community members in need, together and with urgency.
Across Washington County, a new kind of conversation has unfolded. Outreach workers
visiting people in encampments and RVs ask, "Can I help you get back inside?" Case
workers connecting with drop-in center guests waiting for a warm meal ask, "Would
you like some help getting your own apartment again?" Shelter staff working with new
participants as they move their belongings into a safe and dry place are ready to mention,
"We can help you with housing,too!"This is the new state of homelessness in Washington
County — we have options to connect our community in need to shelter, stability, and
ultimately home.
We're also learning how to work smarter together. We've coordinated our response to
unsheltered residents with local agencies, law enforcement and library staff. We're
equipped our outreach workers with immediate access to shelter and housing options.
We're aligning funding streams and urgently deploying new dollars to speed up and expand
programs already underway in our communities, with special gratitude to Governor
Kotek's administration for accelerating our plans for three temporary 'Safe Rest'villages.
We're working with new partners in the health system, learning to coordinate care (and
resources) for their members,who are also our participants, because we know housing is
health and health is housing.
Fundamentally, we could not do this work without our community-based providers. Here
is just a snapshot of some of their milestone achievements this year:
• Sequoia Behavioral Health and Community Partners for Affordable Housing bravely
opened the Heartwood Commons, a community of 54 Permanent Supportive
Housing (PSH) apartments;
• After years of providing drop-in services to help people survive homelessness,
Project Homeless Connect was able to house their 100th homeless participant;
• Open Door and Just Compassion opened hundreds of winter shelter beds and then
kept them open all year round for the first time in Washington County;
• Virginia Garcia joined our network of providers to help launch and operate the first
recuperative care program in Washington County;
Supportive Housing Services Annual Report 1
• Family Promise of Tualatin Valley bought and converted a former hotel in Tigard into 70 rooms of
emergency shelter; and
• So much more!
Washington County takes the call to action from our region's voters with great sincerity and heart. We're
working every day to build a system of care where homelessness is a rare and brief experience. We're
building hope in the fight against the housing crisis, with relationships, resources, and action.
Russell was living in a camp in
Washington County through the S [ 3 I Eharsh winter months and into earlyJ
spring. During that time, his outreachpp
worker stopped by to check in, build I I O
a relationship, and talk about options,
as they had many times before. And ,,
one day, the time spent building trust
with Russell paid off, when he said, "I
never wanted to go for housing until I `"
saw my friends getting approved for ' ..p
apartments. Then I realized this could .
be real for me, too." His outreach worker
sprang into action to get Russell a =-----.----- ..4 Ili iii bed right away, and on track for
housing next,
Today, Russell is engaged with a shelter W
program at the Hillsboro Bridge Shelter ; , , r
}
and is working with a housing case '"
manager to find permanent housing .. :,J._:
with his new regional Long Term Rent - ` �
Assistance (RLRA) voucher, He says, h-
"I'm still getting used to not needing
to check on my stuff, knowing it is safe
inside. I slept outside for the better part "
of eight years."
This is how Washington County is ,
building hope for people like Russell
every day, with persistent relationships,
coordinated resources, and action!

OUTCOVES : YEAR REVIEW
Washington County's Homeless Services system met nearly all, and surpassed some, of our
annual work plan goals for the Supportive Housing Services program. This included exceeding
our housing placement goal and our shelter production goal.These two benchmarks demonstrate
a robust continuum of housing options that are coming online every day in Washington County.
I HOUSING PROGRAMS: PAIRING STABLE HOMES WITH SERVICES
The program exceeded the goal to place 500 households in supportive housing,achieving housing
placement for 636 formerly homeless households. The program also exceeded our goals for
supporting 'Population B households', with housing placement and rent assistance that served
644 additional households through our Rapid Rehousing and Eviction Prevention programs. In
total, the program housed or prevented homelessness for 1,280 households or 2,522 people
this year.

SHELTER PROGRAMS: A STEPPINGSTONE TO HOUSING
In the second program year, shelter capacity increased with 220 additional beds and rooms, far
surpassing our goal to add 80. Through the winter season, staff worked with community-based
shelter providers, building owners, and jurisdictional partners to convert all winter-only shelter
programs to year-round operations. This meant that at the end of the winter season, 150 shelter
beds remained open for the first time in Washington County history.
Additionally, new shelter capacity was added with the first Safe Rest Pod Village program,a model
that began with 30 alternative shelter pods and will soon grow to 90 shelter pods, leveraging
coordination and funding with the Governor's Executive Orders on homelessness. Finally, in
partnership with Oregon Community Foundation's Project Turnkey, and Family Promise of
Tualatin Valley, Washington County expanded shelter capacity for families and medically fragile
households with the acquisition of a former hotel in Tigard. This site currently hosts 40 year-
round shelter beds and will grow to 70 in the coming year.

SYSTE ✓ CAPACITY
AND COORDINATION
Washington County is implementing a system of care that is strategically coordinated
to meet our community needs. This includes leveraging funding, investing in our
community-based providers, coordinating programming across the tri-county area, and
more.
I INVESTING IN PROVIDER CAPACITY
In 2021, before the infusion of new resources from the SHS measure, Washington County
invested in a handful of community-based organizations with small grants to enhance their
informal programs such as intermittent outreach, drop-in services, and rotating shelter
programs. Today, Washington County funds a network of 25+ organizations to provide a
suite of emergency and housing-based services working together in a coordinated system.
We have significantly increased the capacity of our culturally specific service providers,
contracting with seven organizations that provide a dynamic array of culturally specific
housing services in Washington County.
This year, Washington County launched two new major efforts to support the capacity
building needs of our community-based providers. The Housing Careers program provides
training and internship opportunities for community members with lived experience who
are interested in a career providing housing related services. This program partners with
community-based providers to provide internship learning opportunities while training future
potential employees. In the first year of the program, 29 participants enrolled and 16 were
placed in internships throughout our system of care.
Next, Washington County launched a phased grant to provide technical assistance and
organizational assessment for each of our contracted services providers.Through the phased
grant, organizations may apply for funding up to $200,000 for one time capacity building.
Nineteen organizations participated in the capacity building and technical assistance grant
program last fiscal year.
These approaches are helping Washington County build a diverse, empathic, and equitably
compensated workforce. This year, Washington County providers reported that nearly
50% of their staff have lived experience of housing instability, and higher rates of staff
identifying as Black, Indigenous, Latino/a/e or other persons of color compared to the
general population. Furthermore, service provider staff annual salaries range from $46,000
to $52,000, reinforcing Washington County's decision to continue reimbursing staff wages
up to $55,000 per year.

ACCESSIBILITY IN GOVERNANCE
Consistent with regional goals to increase access and inclusion in our community
advisory bodies, Washington County is modernizing our governance structure to ensure
policy guidance, program oversight, and public transparency with diverse voices and
representation from across Washington County. The Homeless Services Division has led
a "One Governance transition" initiative to align advisory bodies into a single governance
structure with clear authority, roles, and opportunities for participation, including a
committee comprised entirely of people with lived experience of homelessness and
housing instability. The new governance structure is on track to begin in January 2024.

EXPANDING HOUSING CAPACITY WITH
THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND
Prior to the launch of SHS funded programs in 2021, the County funded approximately 200
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) placements. With the addition of Regional Long-term Rent
Assistance(RLRA),the County has increased capacity to more than 1000 PSH placements and will
add another 500 in year three.
The program is also working to provide 500 project-based sites (of the 1650 total RLRA vouchers)
to ensure enhanced PSH supports with on-site wrap-around services for participants. To date, 84
project-based PSH units have been secured at two buildings funded by the Affordable Housing
Bond,and an additional 28 units are planned at a third building partner also funded by the Affordable
Housing Bond.

CROSS-SECTOR ALIGNMENT
The Homeless Services Division is also leveraging other systems of care, working closely
with our Health and Human Services Department, Community Corrections Department, and
health system partners to end homelessness for participants of these adjacent systems.
The most significant demonstration of this cross-sector alignment is our Housing Liaisons
program where trained housing system navigators are embedded in other divisions and
departments, working side by side with staff to help their participants navigate our system.
This year, the program expanded to include our Community Corrections Department where
two liaison positions were embedded to facilitate connections to shelter and housing
housing FOR people exiting the criminal justice system people exiting the criminal justice
system. Additionally, our medical case-conferencing program with Providence Health
Services, Kaiser Permanente, and Health Share of Oregon is a best practice in data sharing
and care coordination for people experiencing homelessness with unmet medical needs.
In the coming year, our cross-sector alignment work will focus on opportunities to fund
services for people exiting hospitals and youth transitioning out of foster care by leveraging
Medicaid funding.

REGIONAL COORDINATION
Washington County continued to collaborate with our partners in Multnomah and
Clackamas Counties on several strategic projects,capacity-building initiatives,and system
improvement ventures. Key projects and milestones reached through the tri-county
collaboration include:
. . Launching the Tri-County Planning Body: To strengthen coordination and
i
, . alignment of program implementation across the Metro region, the Tri-
County Planning Body (TCPB) was launched and tasked with identifying
regional goals, strategies, and outcome metrics to address homelessness
in the region. The TCPB identified six goals that centered on improving
efficiencies of Coordinated Entry, bolstering regional landlord recruitment
and increasing unit availability, creating system alignment and increased
long-term partnerships with health systems, providing appropriate training
and technical assistance to support increased program functionality for
service providers (with particular emphasis on prioritizing the needs of
culturally specific providers), and ensuring county contracts for SHS
funded services provide adequate funding to achieve livable wages for
direct service staff.
= Regionalizing landlord partnerships: In January 2023,Metro and tri-county
program staff began sharing existing engagement tools and identified
innovative methodologies for expanding unit availability across the region.
Afti .
Training for existing landlords is now coordinated regionally, and staff
continue to coordinate on strategies for expanding unit availability.
4/116 Regionalizing procurements: This program year also included a Regional
■-- Request for Programmatic Qualifications (RFPQ) to procure new and
V—,
, diverse organizations as partners for service provision. Tri-county partners
: worked to ensure broad engagement and technical assistance to support
the full participation of new and emerging organizations, especially
culturally specific service providers. Sixty applications were qualified to
create a broad network of 167 tri-county pre-qualified service providers
with diverse expertise and geographic representation.
1 10 Washington County,Oregon
*o Data systems coordination:This program year included major steps toward
the Regional Implementation of the Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS).Thanks to the investment of SHS funds, Multnomah County
can now take over as the regional HMIS administrator, which enables the
counties to collaborate on sharing data across counties,as well as pursuing
HMIS updates based on regional and local Built for Zero' work.
At the beginning of 2023, an updated Privacy Notice and Policy was
implemented that creates a more trauma-informed and person-centered
approach to obtaining participant consent for data sharing while maintaining
a high level of data privacy. The next steps include moving toward regional
visibility and more comprehensive integration of each county's HMIS
system. Additionally, each county is a current partner of Built for Zero
with ongoing case conferencing in partnership with homelessness service
providers to review participants on a By-Name-List waiting for a match to
housing programs. This program year brought the initiation of a tri-county
Built for Zero collaboration that resulted in staff coming together to learn
how individual county Coordinated Entry systems are different and sharing
best practices in each community.
Finally, this year the tri-counties conducted the first-ever fully combined
regional Point In Time (PIT) Count. As a result of the combined Count,
analyses include regional trends in unsheltered homelessness, sheltered
homelessness, and system improvements made possible by regional
investments in SHS.
1 Built for Zero is a movement of over 100 cities and counties nationwide who have committed
to ending homelessness and reaching a standard called"functional zero"
Medicaid 1115 Waiver coordination: Finally, together with Metro, each
•
tsiof the three counties engaged with Health Share to continue coordination
regarding the Health Share Housing Benefit Pilot.This coordination included
identifying strategies for aligning the Housing Benefit Pilot with the existing
homeless services system and integrating services to leverage healthcare
and housing capacity to deliver better whole-person care. Coordination
is presently underway to foster systems integration that aligns homeless
services funding and capacity with the new capacity that the 1115 Waiver
housing benefit will bring to the region and state.
Supportive Housing Services Annual Report 11
EVALUATION AND
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
The Homeless Services Division conducts an equity analysis of our outcomes data
biannually to inform program improvements and budgetary investments. This analysis
included population data consideration and comparing race and ethnicity demographics of
households that seek services in our system, with households who achieve stable housing
through our programs. The analysis also considered the rates of poverty and race and
ethnicity in the general population of Washington County.
This year's equity analysis work found that our programs are generally serving higher
rates of Black, Indigenous, and Latino/a/e households than are represented in the general
population, population of poverty, and among households seeking services. This is good
news, confirming that our partners and our programs are reaching the communities we
aim to serve to combat historic and persistent discrimination and disparities in housing.
A significant finding in our data demonstrates that Asian-American & Pacific Islander
households experience higher rates of poverty in Washington County than the rate of
households seeking our housing services. This finding led the Homeless Services Division
to set a goal to better understand this disparity by reaching out to community organizations
and centers that serve Asian-American & Pacific Islander households in poverty to learn
how our programs can better serve these households. See Attachment E for the complete
equity analysis.
This year, the Homeless Services Division also conducted the first provider performance
evaluation and report. This process included sharing outcomes and metrics with each
provider and asking organizations to review, improve data quality, and provide a narrative
summary describing their program successes and challenges. This evaluation work
resulted in several improvements and identified strategies for our third year of programming
including the addition of quality assurance staff for each provider;the launch of"diversion"
training; increased flex funds to help housing liaisons resolve housing instability efficiently;
and a commitment to creating "move-on" strategies to transition stabilized households to
lower levels of care with ongoing rent assistance. In the coming program year,the Homeless
Services Division will continue to build upon this work towards a comprehensive evaluation
and monitoring system to better identify early intervention opportunities to support
organizations in meeting contractual requirements and ensuring program outcomes
across the system.

I FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
In the second program year, Washington County budgeted $50.3 million, the full amount
of forecasted revenue using the Fall 2021 forecast. We expected the program to expend
approximately 75% of this budget authority, anticipating providers would need time to hire staff
and house participants to achieve the full capacity of their contracts. In the end, the Homeless
Services Division surpassed the spend-down plan, expending 97% of the budget, due in part to
funding opportunities for capital investments in shelter expansion and capacity building funding
to address the needs of community-based providers.
In our third program year, the Homeless Services Division has budgeted $86.3 million, which
includes the forecasted revenue and some unspent program funds carried forward from the first
two years. These carry over funds will increase funding for eviction prevention programming,
capital investments in PSH and shelter construction, and further capacity building for providers.
Ongoing programming is also budgeted to grow, adding 500 vouchers and case management
services to increase capacity for supportive housing, the cornerstone of the measure and
Washington County's Local Implementation Plan.
In planning and preparing the budget for Year 3, the Homeless Services Division consulted our
advisory bodies to review draft budget plans and principles for investing carry over funding. This
feedback helped to shape an aggressive but achievable budget that will fund continued program
and system growth and deliver the outcomes our community is counting on. See Attachment H
for the full annual financial report.
