The Do-ers Gathering: Connecting Portlanders transforming the housing conversation

On Wednesday, April 24, we will bring together organizations and individuals who contribute to community-driven solutions addressing Portland’s housing crisis. The goal of the gathering is to briefly present the big picture view of where we are and how we got here, support the do-ers who are creating positive change and to inspire future do-ers in our community. We will showcase current projects, discuss and identify opportunities and collaboration, and create a working network of do-ers in the Portland community.

This gathering will highlight how Portland is better because of the work of individuals and community groups. If that’s you, we want to hear from you!

• As a Contributor - You have time, resources, and perhaps even an idea to contribute, but you’re not sure how you can help. This is a chance for you to hear what others are working on and lend that hand or whatever contribution makes sense for you. If this is you, then please register as a “Contributor” along with the sector of the community you’re coming from: city or government agency role, non-profit organization, and interested community member.
• As a Do-er - A “do-er” is an individual, group or organization actively working on a community-driven project addressing Portland’s housing crisis and seeks additional help or resources in order to be successful. UPDATE: The opportunity to present as a do-er has closed as we've hit our maximum number. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please register as a contributor to participate.
