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

Dignity Village in Portland, Oregon, is being profiled as a homeless community that has grown into a self-governed village, where residents run their own affairs rather than relying on outside management. The report highlights the settlement as an example of how organized encampments can offer structure and dignity to people living without homes, prompting renewed debate about alternative approaches to homelessness in American cities.
