Portland, OR and Trash for Peace employ unhoused residents for environmental service pilots

Portland, OR Trash for Peace Unhoused Environmental Service

In Progress

The Ground Score Leading Inclusively Together Through Environmental Recovery (GLITTER) program provides litter collection within encampments. This partnership also seeks reductions in littering and damage to public assets through an outreach pilot. Trained outreach workers speak with members of unhoused communities about waste management concerns before co-designing solutions. Starting pay for pilot workers is $20 per hour with higher pay available for outreach coordinators.
