    The Oregonian Judge questions whether Portland's tenant protection law is illegal By Jessica Floum April 6, 2017 A Multnomah County Circuit Court judge questioned Thursday whether Portland's controversial tenant protection rule is illegal under a state law that prohibits rent control. The rule requires landlords to pay relocation assistance of up to $4,500 to tenants whom they evict without cause or who have to move due to a rent increase of 10 percent or more. Landlords challenged its legality, and Judge Henry Breithaupt heard arguments in the case Thursday. Portland Deputy City Attorney Denis Vannier defended the rule, while attorney John DiLorenzo, representing landlords, argued it is illegal under Oregon's law prohibiting rent control. Creating a penalty for landlords who want to raise rents effectively stops them from doing so, DiLorenzo argued. "That's tantamount to saying you can't raise rents," DiLorenzo said. DiLorenzo also argued the rule changes the terms of leases signed before the rule took effect, which he asserted violates a rule in the Oregon Constitution that prohibits passing a law that changes existing contracts "I hope we convinced his honor that he should strike down the ordinance," DiLorenzo said. Breithaupt did not seem convinced Thursday morning. He questioned whether Portland's rule actually violates state law by forcing landlords to keep their rents under a certain amount, when they otherwise would not do so. Breithaupt said the question is not whether landlords say they "will" not increase rents as a result of the rule, but whether they say they "can" not.

  • Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center , Fiscal Year End 3/31/12 Optional Supplemental Information
    Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center , Fiscal Year End 3/31/12 Optional Supplemental Information 1. Describe how the organization assesses the health care needs of the communities it services. Legacy Good Samaritan conducted a quantitative and qualitative Community Needs Assessment in FY 12. The Community Needs Assessment was conducted in conjunction with the four other Legacy Health hospitals, i.e., Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center, Legacy Mount Hood Medical Center and Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center. Quantitative secondary data focused on demographic characteristics, health factors, and health outcomes derived from a review of national and local research. Data was the most recently available—years range from 2007 to 2010. Data at the primary service area level was used when available, followed by county (Multnomah) and Oregon state in order of preference and availability. Race and ethnicity data is most commonly available only at the county and/or state level. Qualitative research consisted of interviews conducted by leadership with 66 elected officials (state, county and city) and public sector (public health, human services), faith, business and community members, including representatives of culturally, racially and ethnically diverse and low income communities. Interviewees were intentionally designated based on their direct involvement with organizations and/or issues in the service areas. 2. Describe how the organization informs and educates patients and persons who may be billed for patient care about their eligibility for assistance under federal, state, or local government programs or under the organization’s charity care policy (financial assistance policy). Legacy Good Samaritan employs financial counselors and social workers that assist patients in obtaining coverage for their healthcare needs.

  • Living in Portland
    Section III: Living in Portland “The law must be stable, but it must not stand still.” — Roscoe Pound Looking for Housing? Where to Look Portland is divided into four main areas: Northwest (NW), Southwest (SW), Northeast (NE), and Southeast (SE), though North Portland is sometimes referred to as the “fifth quadrant.” Burnside Street divides the northern and southern ends of Portland, while the Willamette (pronounced Will‐am‐it) River separates east from west. Lewis & Clark Law School is in SW Portland, meaning that it is west of the Willamette River and south of Burnside. If you are looking for a place to live that is close to school and easily accessible via public transportation or bicycle, your best bet is to look in SW or SE Portland. Most students live within three miles of the school. SW SW Portland’s most popular neighborhoods include Multnomah Village, Garden Home, Hillsdale and John’s Landing. Rental listings in these areas usually reference Burlingame, Terwilliger Boulevard or Barbur Boulevard. These neighborhoods are generally quiet, family‐ friendly areas with casual eateries and a few bars or brew pubs, though John’s Landing is a bit more lively. The law school is also close to Lake Oswego and Tigard, which are suburbs of Portland and within a short distance to the school by Boones Ferry Road. Both are quiet areas that tend to attract families. Lake Oswego is known for its excellent school system. You will most likely need a car to live out here; many areas lack sidewalks and public transit. However, one of the bus lines with stops by the school goes through Lake Oswego’s Mountain Park neighborhood.

  • The Oregonian It Brings a Village
    The Oregonian It brings a village By Amanda Waldroupe, Thacher Schmid, and Camela Raymon June 12, 2017 For years, a graveled lot directly north of Kenton Park in North Portland's Kenton neighborhood, sat vacant. But on June 5, a work crew arrived on North Argyle Street to begin transforming the empty site, roughly an acre in size, into Kenton Women's Village, a temporary intentional community the likes of which the city has never seen. A half-dozen neighborhood residents spread across an adjacent southern slope. Some tore out invasive blackberries and other weeds; others used picks and shovels to clear way for a staircase that would connect the lot to Argyle Street. Three small bulldozers zipped around the site, delivering piles of dirt and gravel and leveling the packed ground. Standing in the middle of the lot, Margi Dechenne, program manager of the housing transitions program of Catholic Charities of Oregon, watched a truck hauling two small shipping containers pull into the lot. "Oh good," she said, "the restrooms are here." Debbie Haskett, a 55-year old-woman who has been homeless for eight years, walked to the far end of the lot where 14 "sleeping pods," super-tiny homes approximately 96 square feet each, stood in an oblong semi-circle. Haskett, one of 14 homeless women chosen to occupy the structures, was deciding where to live. She chose a pod at the far end of the semi-circle that was painted black and turquoise. "Turquoise is my birthstone," she said. She rubbed her hands together at the thought of a home, however small, that she could claim as her own.
