SPNA and Problem Solving for Illegal Camping:
On February 4, 2026 the SPNA Board endorsed a plan authored by Michael Kaplan with important assistance from Jim Gardner, Tim Pea and Luis Patron- Diaz. SPNA representatives have met the Mayor’s Chief of Staff and Director of Portland Solutions. We will have met with 70% of Councilors and/or their Chiefs of Staff by November 18 with hope that City will endorse in whole and/or in part the proposed list of Solutions to Improve Problem Solving of Illegal Homeless Camping and other Aspects of Homelessness.
Additionally, we have met majority of County Commissioners and/or their Chiefs of Staff. Those meetings are especially important, as funding for treatment of addictions and/or persistent mental illness, let alone significant funding for shelters and other housing flows through County to City and surrounding communities
Next clean-up Nov 7, 2026 from 10am-noon,
Grover Pedestrian Tunnel Cleanup
