May and June Portland Public Forums – free and open to all!
How Can Health Care Change and Housing Work Together? – May 20

This panel discussion and Q&A with Health Share of Oregon – a tri-county area Coordinated Care Organization – will include Central City Concern’s Executive Director and Health Share Board Member Ed Blackburn, Health Share’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Labby, and Community Health Strategies Project Director Sandra Clark.

This forum is a unique opportunity for housing providers and interested community members to learn about a key aspect of the health care transformation:

  • Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) 101: what are they, who are they serving, what is the opportunity?
  • Hear about an assessment project at Oregon ON member housing sites looking at site-specific solutions to improve residents’ health
  • Learn about the way health providers are thinking outside the doctor’s office, including going to where people live
  • Bring your questions, talk to Health Share staff, get connected

Monday, May 20
11:30am-1:00pm
First Unitarian Church, Buchan Room, in downtown Portland
1226 SW Salmon Street

This is a brown-bag event – bring your own lunch; coffee/water and cookies provided.

Cully – A Living Ecodistrict! – June 6

Can Ecodistricts can be reconceived as an anti-poverty strategy?
Can they address disparities in wealth, income, health and natural resources?
Can they prevent displacement of low-income people and people of color?

Come and learn about this exciting project! Living Cully: A Cully Ecodistrict is a coordinated effort by Hacienda CDC, NAYA (Native American Youth and Family Center), and Verde to drive environmental investments into the Cully Neighborhood in response to existing community needs: jobs, education, housing and quality of life.
