Information
EXPLANATION OF ISSUE
Council workshop will be an opportunity to review and provide direction on the City creating
a Houselessness Task Force.
ACTION REQUESTED
City Council, Community Homelessness Assessment and Response Team (CHART), and
Committee for Community Engagement (CCE) discuss and direct teammates on the creation of
the proposed Houseless Task Force.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Over the last several years houselessness has become a greater and more pressing issue in the
Portland metro area. As a result, more action has been needed at every level of government to
address affordable housing availability, camping in public spaces, addiction and mental health
support, emergency shelter, and more.
In 2022 the Tigard City Council adopted the Council Goal to `Reduce Houselessness'. Since the
Goal was adopted,Tigard has created and updated a public camping ordinance, invested in local
houseless shelters, begun a program for people who are sleeping in their cars, created a grant
program for local businesses impacted by houselessness, and more.
Through this time, the Community Homelessness Assessment and Response Team (CHART) has
advised City teammates on policy and program questions related to homelessness. The
membership of CHART has evolved over time but has always been composed of institutional
partners who either work directly with houseless community members or are directly affected by
houselessness in Tigard. Current member organizations include Tigard Chamber of Commerce,
Tigard Downtown Alliance,Just Compassion of East Washington County, Project Homeless
Connect, Family Promise of Tualatin Valley, Good Neighbor Center,Tualatin Valley Fire &
Rescue, Tigard Police Department, Tigard Town Center Advisory Commission, and Community
Partners for Affordable Housing.
In 2024, the Council directed City teammates to consider developing a task force that would act in
a more formal capacity than CHART to advise the Council on policy and program questions
involving houselessness. Council also directed teammates to include the Tigard Committee for
Community Engagement (CCE) in the conversation to help build awareness and education of
houseless conversations with community. The idea was selected members of CCE could act as
community representatives along with the institutions represented by CHART to form a cohesive
and diverse Task Force.
ALTERNATIVES & RECOMMENDATION
Council can amend the staff recommendations for the formation of the Houselessness Task Force

The Big Question
