  • Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT Data Accurate January 1 - December 31, 2015 Dear Community Members, Thank you for your incredible support in 2015! This support allowed us to reach over 1,000 youth in Washington County and provide them with a sense of belonging, a safe place to master skills, opportunities to practice generosity, and avenues to find independence. Through the efforts of almost 1,000 volunteers and community partners, we have expanded our outreach teams and employment services. Unfortunately, due to a severe shortage of affordable housing in this area, the number of young people impacted by housing instability continues to grow. Last year 2,148 K-12 students were identified as homeless in Washington County alone. This represents an increase of almost 147 students from the year before, which is truly tragic. The need for our services is greater than ever. Last year marked a milestone for me personally as I have had the life changing privilege of becoming a mother. It has helped me realize, even more, how incredibly valuable HomePlate is for our community. It serves as a support system for young people that were not naturally surrounded by one. The one immeasurable outcome that matters most to us at HomePlate is that we exist to offer an opportunity for such courageous and resilient young people to connect in safety with others in our community who genuinely care, without judgment, fear of exploitation, or concern for expectation. It is in this offering of bonding, comfort and love, our basic emotional needs, paired with meeting other basic needs like food and clothing, that we have witnessed unending promise for not only our youth, but our volunteers, our staff, and our broader community.

  • Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan Our Shared Vision for a Sustainable Future August 2020
    HILLSBORO 2035 COMMUNITY PLAN OUR SHARED VISION FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE AUGUST 2020 HILLSBORO2035.ORG A SHARED VISION FOR OUR COMMUNITY: IN 2035, HILLSBORO IS AN INCLUSIVE, WELCOMING MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS A RESILIENT, WORLD-CLASS ECONOMY AND DYNAMIC URBAN TAPESTRY WHILE CONTINUING TO HONOR OUR AGRICULTURAL HERITAGE AND COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. LETTER FROM THE MAYOR August 2020 It is my pleasure to introduce the updated Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan. This edition includes new strategies and actions culled from nearly 8,000 ideas shared by thousands of people since the 2035 Community Plan was adopted in 2015. In Hillsboro, we pride ourselves in being an inclusive and equitable community as reflected in this quote from the City’s Equity and Inclusion Statement: “Equity work aims to remove barriers and eliminate social and economic disparities by centering those who have been excluded from the decision-making process”. These periodic vision plan updates are one of the many important ways STEVE CALLAWAY, MAYOR we demonstrate this as it offers new and traditionally underserved community members an equal opportunity to help inform the ways we act to bring our vision to life. The update process also ensures we’re incorporating the most up-to-date approaches and information as we evolve over time. Long-time vision observers may notice one particularly significant modification to this edition. Environmental sustainability-related actions were sprinkled throughout the original 2020 Vision. However, by 2015, community interest in sustainability had grown significantly and a Sustainability Task Force was formed to develop a comprehensive Community Environmental Sustainability Plan (ESP).
