  16. We Have to Leave Today

Closure of small house community forces several previously #unhoused residents back to the streets. "They said we have to leave ... today ... I've been here for four years and I've never received help or resources or even a referral of someone to talk to about housing" said Dennis #houseless resident of Third and Peralta tiny home community. ..

    As It Shutters, Beleaguered Shelter Operator Says All 175 Staff Will Lose Their Jobs

    By Andrew Schwartz
    April 10, 2026

    Excerpt: "Late last month, WW reported that two homeless shelters funded by the city Portland would close after the nonprofit contracted to run them shuttered amid allegations of fiscal mismanagement.

    "In a WARN notice posted publicly this week, that nonprofit, Sunstone Way, indicated the scale of the impact for its own staff: By the end of June, all 175 of them would lose their jobs.

    "In the notice, Sunstone Way HR said it had 'anticipated the city of Portland would continue operating the shelters that Sunstone Way currently operates.'

    "Instead, it said, it had just received notice from the city to the contrary. The 96-bed Centennial shelter that Sunstone Way had operated was now expected to close by April 30. A 38-unit pod shelter complex on Northeast Weidler Street in the Lloyd District would close altogether.

    "Meanwhile, the letter added, Sunstone Way’s Naito shelter would, after June 30, continue to operate with new management.

    "The resulting layoffs encompass a range of vocations. According to the notice filed with the state, workers losing their jobs include a mix of full-time, part-time and on-call shelter staff as well as case managers, office workers, and 41 people in management.

    "Sunstone Way’s troubles date back years, WW has reported, and the nonprofit had been losing shelter contracts lately with both the city and Multnomah County. But its problems escalated rapidly in the period before it said it would shutter entirely. "

  34. God, these kinds of headlines piss me off no matter how many times I see them:

    "40 percent of people helped by Los Angeles mayor’s $300M homeless project have returned to the streets, report finds"

    the-independent.com/news/world

    The headline just leaves readers to assume the reasons for this outcome, which the news outlet has to know will be based on stereotypes of homeless people as "service resistant" and too mad / drug-addicted to be "housing-ready".

    (BTW, please pause here to let it sink in how despicable a concept that is, i.e., that some people are "not ready" for a piece of physical space where their body is legally and socially allowed to exist without getting constantly harassed, arrested, evicted on short notice, having their meager belongings routinely stolen, etc.).

    In the unlikely event that one actually reads the full article, they will learn, 10 paragraphs down the page, that the actual reasons for the program's relatively poor effectiveness have much more to do with arbitrary and unrealistic expectations baked into its design, as a short-term "interim housing" scheme that does not even attempt to address the underlying problem that there simply is no available housing that is affordable for people with very low incomes:

    "UCLA Law School professor emeritus Gary Blasi told the newspaper that there were not enough housing vouchers and low-cost apartments to provide permanent housing for program members, putting the program on [a] track that is 'just not sustainable' and funnels money into expensive motels rather than long-term solutions."

    (BTW, please pause here to let it sink in how despicable a concept that is, i.e., that some people are "not ready" for a piece of physical space where their body is legally and socially allowed to exist without getting constantly harassed, arrested, evicted on short notice, having their meager belongings routinely stolen, etc.).

    In the unlikely event that one actually reads the full article, they will learn, 10 paragraphs down the page, that the actual reasons for the program's relatively poor effectiveness have much more to do with arbitrary and unrealistic expectations baked into its design, as a short-term "interim housing" scheme that does not even attempt to address the underlying problem that there simply is no available housing that is affordable for people with very low incomes:

    "UCLA Law School professor emeritus Gary Blasi told the newspaper that there were not enough housing vouchers and low-cost apartments to provide permanent housing for program members, putting the program on [a] track that is 'just not sustainable' and funnels money into expensive motels rather than long-term solutions."

  37. God, these kinds of headlines piss me off no matter how many times I see them:

    "40 percent of people helped by Los Angeles mayor’s $300M homeless project have returned to the streets, report finds"

    the-independent.com/news/world

    The headline just leaves readers to assume the reasons for this outcome, which the news outlet has to know will be based on stereotypes of homeless people as "service resistant" and too mad / drug-addicted to be "housing-ready".

    By calling individuals experiencing houslessness “#homeless” you may be stripping away that connection.'
