Community Needs Hearing

The Portland Consortium, which includes the City of Gresham, City of Portland, and Multnomah County, is beginning its Annual Action Plan process for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The 2025-26 Action Plan is the fifth of five Action Plans in the 2021-25 five-year Consolidated Plan.

The process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s formula block grant programs, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), to address ascertained community needs.

The purpose of these hearings is to collect community feedback regarding the housing, infrastructure, economic and social service needs of area residents and prioritize those needs during the preparation of the consortium partners’ 2025-26 Action Plans. For each jurisdiction, call or review website for instructions regarding public testimony, meeting times, website registration and phone information.

Dinner will be provided for attendees and childcare will be available upon request. The Consortium partners are committed to providing meaningful access. To request childcare, translation, interpretation, modifications, accommodations, or other auxiliary aids or services, call 503-618-2814, email Rachel.Nehse@GreshamOregon.gov or indicate the need for these services on your online registration.
