Equity Impacts Portland Solutions addresses equity in the following ways. • Through the SSCC, Portland Solutions delivers non-law enforcement response and outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness, with a focus on connecting chronically homeless individuals to shelter and other services. • Through the Shelter Services program, Portland Solutions provides lodging, food, hygiene facilities, and wraparound services to individuals previously living on the streets. • Through IRP, Portland Solutions provides resources to workforce development programs that hire individuals with lived experience of homelessness, the criminal justice system, substance use disorders, and behavioral health challenges. • Through PEMO, Portland Solutions prioritizes livability projects that provide safety enhancements to areas identified as unsafe by neighborhood contacts and Portland Police. Portland Solutions uses data to track the demographics and outcomes of those served to measure the program's efforts and outcomes against Citywide equity goals. Numerous studies have shown that the population living unsheltered in the streets is disproportionately represented by most minority groups, especially African Americans and Indigenous people. Changes to Program Portland Solutions Operations received a one-time General fund amount of $78K to cover the gap between CAL funding and their Current Service Level (CSL). $70K of this one-time General fund will be used to fill the ongoing budget shortfall from the Enhanced Services District Coordinator position that is funded with a mix of General Fund ongoing and revenue from Enhanced Service District. Unfortunately, the resources that moved over with the position did not cover the full cost of the position, including a facilitation contract that supports the work. The position was realigned from the Community and Economic Development Service Area to Portland Solutions in the FY 25-26 Adopted Budget wherein the ongoing budget shortfall was documented. The ESD shortfall has been covered by vacancy savings in the past. The remaining $8k will be used for External Materials and Services (EMS) for the Portland Solution Operations team for technology replacement and other miscellaneous expenses.? 118
