  • Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan Guides City's Future
    CITY VIEWS NEWS & EVENTS FOR THE CITY OF HILLSBORO September/October 2015 Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan Guides City’s Future Read the Complete Plan at Hillsboro2035.org Years of planning and help from thousands of community members have led to the completion of the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan, which is available online at www.Hillsboro2035.org. The Hillsboro City Council approved the plan in late July before it was “unveiled” and distributed at Celebrate Hillsboro. Based on input and ideas from more than 5,000 community members for the future of Hillsboro, the Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan includes a vision of what people want Hillsboro to look like by the year 2035, and an action plan for getting there. The Hillsboro 2035 Community Plan builds on the success of the Hillsboro 2020 Vision and Action Plan, the original, award-winning plan, which led to many community enhancements, including Hondo Dog Park, community gardens, the Hillsboro Civic Center and Tom Hughes Plaza, and youth after-school programs. Residents, employees, businesses, and community organizations all weighed in with ideas for the future of Hillsboro. continued on page 2 MAYOR’S MESSAGE Ready to Volunteer? HillsDoer Day is October 3 Did you know that in 2014, more than 4,000 volunteers served 64,270 hours in Hillsboro? That’s incredible! Think of how those volunteers helped our Parks & Recreation, Library, Fire, and Police departments to deliver an even higher level of service. Others volunteered on City boards and commissions, at special events, or with community non-profit organizations. In August, the City held the 2nd Annual Volunteer BBQ at Shute Park to show appreciation to all City Mayor Jerry Willey volunteers, but the truth is, we cannot thank you enough for your service.

  • Multnomah County, Oregon Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
    MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 About the Cover A shelter worker at the Mount Scott Community Center sets up a bed while properly wearing a mask and social distancing to protect the most vulnerable population in the County. Many people and businesses are facing tough challenges due to the global pandemic. This shelter is operated by the City of Portland and Multnomah County’s Joint Office of Homeless Services (JOHS), which has set a national standard for how local governments can work cross-jurisdictionally to use resources more effectively and demonstrate that every member of their community is valued and sustained by local leaders, especially during a time of crisis. The Joint Office of Homeless Services has vastly increased its provision of shelter and outreach services to assist with Multnomah County’s COVID-19 response. The JOHS has established three new congregate shelters, six physical distancing motel shelters, and two voluntary isolation motel shelters to allow for physical distancing and adherence to other public health guidance in its existing congregate shelter system. Adam Brown, the Business Services Manager for the JOHS, stated, “We have an existing shelter system that we fund in non-COVID times. This additional capacity has allowed us to decompress that system, ensure proper physical distancing, and keep people safe.” If you would like to get involved and be a part of the effort to strengthen the community, please visit the website http://ahomeforeveryone.net/
