The Clackamas County Policy Session on May 15, 2024, focused on significant developments in housing and community support, particularly the introduction of a new transitional housing initiative.
During the meeting, Rod Cook, the Director of Health, Housing, and Human Services, along with Bahid Brown, the Division Director, presented plans for a 24-pod transitional housing village. This new community will be located on vacant property just east of the existing Veterans Village. The initiative aims to address the urgent need for emergency shelter and transitional housing in the area.
The property for the Clackamas Village was acquired in December 2023, with the support of the county board. This development is part of a broader strategy to create interconnected support systems within the region, enhancing the local supply chain and fostering a hub ecosystem that benefits existing businesses and residents alike.
The session concluded with expressions of gratitude to the attendees and a commitment to ongoing discussions about the project’s implementation. The next steps will involve further planning and community engagement to ensure the successful establishment of the transitional housing village.
