I agree it would be beneficial to define so we are all on the same page and will ask City Staff to assist. As for TCAC's excellent questions, let's work together to get those answered as I don't believe they have been. Again, I will ask the City Staff to assist us here. I look forward to our coordination and cooperation to work on this complex issue together.TCAC has a unique perspective and expertise re:TIFs and business that would be welcomed at the "table". Perhaps TCAC could also be represented on CHART if it is not already? Sincerely, Councilor Jeanette Shaw From: Tom and Evelyn Murphy<murphy999@hotmail.com> Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2022 at 6:19 PM To: Jeanette Shaw<jeanettes@tigard-or.gov> Cc: #Councilmail <councilmail @tigard-or.gov>, Steve Rymer<stever@tigard-or.gov>, Sean Farrelly <Sean@tigard-or.gov> Subject: Tigard Town Center Advisory Commission - Work Group on Houselessness Dear Councilor Shaw: This correspondence follows up on one aspect of the joint meeting of the Town Center Development Agency and the Town Center Advisory Commission on February 1, 2022. After the TCAC had presented proposed goals for 2022, you asked how we would coordinate our efforts on the issue of houselessness with those already undertaken by the City. Recent developments in Portland, notably Mayor Wheeler's executive order requiring that multiple agencies of that City's government begin to align their efforts in addressing homelessness, demonstrate the salience of your question. At its monthly meeting on March 9th, the TCAC formed a five-member work group to begin the process of operationalizing our goal related to houselessness. The work group met for the first time on Monday, March 14th. Almost immediately, we ran up against the question you had posed for us. The purpose of this communication is to seek your help in exploring how the TCAC can contribute to the City's efforts to address houselessness. Our work group started with the preliminary matter of definition. The TCAC's goal uses the term "houselessness." City Council's 2021-2023 goals call for implementation of "an actionable, person- centric + regional response to homelessness." Strategic Priority 3 of the City's Strategic Plan for 2020-2025 refers to "unhoused Tigard residents." The starting point of any plan of action must be a clear understanding of what we're acting upon. Do "homeless," "houseless" and "unhoused" mean 2 the same thing? If so, what is their common definition? If they aren't the same, what are the substantive differences among them? The rest of the work group's conversation followed a similar pattern: we have plenty of questions, and nothing resembling actionable answers. Below is a sample from our list of questions (pared down for brevity): • What demographic data is available about unhoused Tigard residents, such as age, gender, race or ethnicity, and family status? • What is the impact of houselessness on the TIF districts? What data reflect those impacts? For instance, what proportion of calls for police or other emergency services within the TIF districts relate to persons experiencing houselessness? • Does the City have KPI's for its goal pertaining to houselessness or for its strategic priority related to unhoused Tigard residents? If so, the TCAC must align its performance indicators with them. It is likely that some of our questions have been answered already; for others, perhaps the necessary analysis is underway or pending. It doesn't serve anyone's interest for the TCAC to try to reinvent the wheel, and we aren't going to do so. The only sensible approach to a complex issue like houselessness is through coordination and cooperation by all actors. The TCAC can offer a perspective that is informed by our involvement with and focus upon the two TIF districts; for instance, our membership includes three downtown business owners who see effects of houselessness firsthand. How do we find our place at the table, so that the TCAC can participate appropriately in the City's already-ongoing efforts to alleviate the negative impacts of houselessness on both our unhoused residents and our community at large? Thank you for your consideration of these matters, for your support of the TCAC, and for your work on Tigard's behalf.
