Portland's Homeless Village That Governed Itself

Original: The Homeless Community in Portland, Oregon That Became a Self-Governed Village

Dignity Village in Portland, Oregon, began as a tent encampment and evolved into a self-governed community of formerly homeless residents, with its own elected leadership, rules and shared responsibilities. The New York Times examines how residents organized to run the village themselves, offering a rare model of homeless-led housing that others in the city and beyond have watched closely as Portland confronts its homelessness crisis.

Why now: The New York Times' profile of Dignity Village has renewed attention on self-governed homeless communities as a possible response to the homelessness crisis.
