This panel discussion, presented on November 4, 2005, and published April 9, 2015, examines Portland's evolving approach to homelessness. It contrasts Mayor Bud Clark's 1985 "12-Point Plan" with the city's 2005 "10-Year Plan to End Homelessness," questioning how strategies have changed and why new outcomes are anticipated.

Moderated by Gretchen Kafoury (former city commissioner and Portland State University faculty), the panel featured three key community leaders. Erik Sten, City Commissioner, discussed the city's program. Genevieve Nelson, co-founder of Sisters of The Road, shared insights from a survey of 400 homeless individuals. Lisa Schroeder, a business owner and co-chair of the Downtown Retail Council, provided the downtown business perspective.

Join CCL Education & Engagement Director Brett Cease and CCL Michigan Liaisons Coordinator Lisa DelBuono, MD, for a training on Climate Interactive's En-ROADS climate policy simulator, built with MIT Sloan. This session will review the tool's background, details, and how to host your own simulation events.

Lisa demonstrates sample presentations exploring carbon pricing (e.g., Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act) and other climate strategies. Examples for progressive (video) and conservative (video) audiences highlight impacts on energy, land use, and agriculture.
