Portland, OR bans homeless encampments in fire-prone areas

In Progress

The Portland City Council approved new fire safety protocols which ban homeless encampments in "high risk zones" in order to reduce the risk of accidental fires. The Portland Homelessness and Urban Campaign Impact Reduction Program team will warn individuals of the dangers of settling in fire-prone areas before evicting any encampments. Community members will be able to use a tracking tool to report encampments that have a history of problematic fire mitigation efforts.
