  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: State Experiences with Affordable Housing Plus Services: Report to Seniors and Persons with Disabilities, On The Move Author: Carder, Paula C., Zoller, Erika Year: 2009 Housing developers, providers, policy makers, and advocates, increasingly recognize that for some groups of individuals, access to affordable housing alone is "not enough." That is, some individuals require more than shelter. Examples include individuals who have chronic health conditions (e.g., HIV/AIDS), those with physical or cognitive limitations (e.g., persons with developmental disabilities, adults with physical disabilities), and those who have a combination of health conditions or who cannot thrive in traditional housing (e.g., persons who have been homeless, individuals with chronic mental illness). Increasingly, housing providers, social service agencies, advocates, states, and federal agencies have recognized the need to combine housing with supportive services designed to address the health and social needs of such groups and individuals. Older adults want to remain in their homes as long as possible (Bayer & Harper, 2000), and providing supportive services to them in their homes is one approach to preventing or delaying unnecessary institutionalization in an acute or long-term care facility (Gibson et. al., 2003). Increasingly, policy makers and advocates recognize that "homes" includes subsidized rental units occupied by older persons and adults with disabilities. There are a variety of affordable housing and service models across the United States, and they fall under a range of categories and terms (e.g., permanent supportive housing, enriched housing, affordable housing plus services). Whether or not some combination of housing and services can meet the needs of individuals transitioning out of nursing homes remains a question of interest to current nursing home residents, advocates, and policy makers. The purpose of this report is to describe examples of affordable housing plus services (AHPS) that might serve as models for Oregon’s On the Move demonstration project (a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Money Follows the Person project). For this analysis, we reviewed existing reports and articles and collected information about policies and programs in several states in order to learn whether older adults and persons with disabilities, including those discharged from nursing homes, might be served by AHPS programs. Given that Oregon has a long history of providing home and community-based services, we focused primarily on unlicensed housing models rather than licensed residential settings such as assisted living and adult foster care. It is important to note that other states do not have as well-developed a home-and community based care network as does Oregon. Thus, for some states, assisted living is being promoted as a relatively new, and less expensive, alternative to institutionalization. In Oregon, one goal of creating nursing home alternatives is to expand individuals' choices to include affordable housing plus service options.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Health and Housing Specialist: An Emerging Job Classification to Support Aging in Place in Subsidized Housing Author: Carder, Paula C., Weinstein, Jenny, Kohon, Jacklyn Nicole Year: 2012 As the U.S. population ages, the availability of workers with a basic understanding of aging and health-related services has not kept pace. This is true in traditional health care organizations such as hospitals and primary care clinics as well as in long-term care settings and senior housing, including subsidized housing, the focus of this report. Nearly 1.8 million older persons receive some form of publicly-subsidized rental assistance. Some subsidized housing providers, including those that operate buildings designated for older persons, are developing new systems of service delivery that would either coordinate or provide health screenings, physical activity programs, nutrition programs, health monitoring, adult day health, and home care. Such efforts are intended to deliver health related services that allow older adults to remain in their apartment for as long as possible while also reducing their use of hospital emergency departments or nursing facility placement. However, because housing providers have not traditionally hired or contracted with health and social services workers, neither the specific job tasks, nor the qualities of workers, have been studied. This report describes the findings from a study designed to identify the characteristics of subsidized housing employees who work primarily with older residents. The study took place during 2011- 2012 and included interviews with housing providers, health and social services professionals who have clients in subsidized housing, current residents, and resident service coordinators who work in subsidized housing. A systematic job analysis, including a national survey with 87 service coordinators from 23 states, was conducted in order to identify the specific job tasks and the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of subsidized housing employees whose job would entail supporting aging in place for older residents. Based on this study, it is clear that significant numbers of older residents of subsidized housing have a variety of unmet needs that place them at risk of eviction, hospitalization, and premature nursing home admissions. Four broad categories of supports identified by study participants include information and referral, health, social and personal care services, case management and care coordination, and building-specific supports. While most residents are independent and want to remain so, many need assistance on a short-term basis, such as during an acute illness or after a hospitalization. Others need on-going supports such as personal care, medication management, and health monitoring. Currently, few housing providers have a means of assessing or monitoring the health status or needs of residents. Most study participants believed that a designated staff person who could assess and monitor resident health would be beneficial, though some cautioned against creating an institutional environment or forcing services onto residents who do not want such assistance.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evolution of an Academic Village: Vision for Inner South Portland Author: Beattie, Scott, Blakeley, Manzell, Davis, Allen, Kalahele, Malia, Moore, Alexander, Pina, Michael, Rousculp, Thomas, Rousse, Sky, Gardiner, Sierra, Ofcacek, Nick, Eshel, Oren, Kaur, Harleen, Williams, Kenya, Erickson, Rey Year: 2007 This vision of an Academic Village is a culmination of three months of work by 12 students in the Spring 2007 Urban Design Workshop at Portland State University. Our understanding of the Academic Village arose out of an exploration of connections between neighboring academic institutions – Portland State University, Oregon Health and Sciences University on Marquam Hill, and OHSU’s emerging campus on the South Waterfront – and the Corbett and Lair Hill neighborhoods. We discovered that people from these institutions and communities live, work, study, and play in a shared urban space, but that the potential for creating an Academic Village is bounded by the history and physical characteristics of that urban space. We would like to illustrate how an Academic Village can be a major asset to the city of Portland and its residents. By combining the resources and ideals of our academic institutions with the vitality of our urban and community institutions, our vision seeks to bring our academic and community nodes closer together at many different levels. By highlighting how barriers to interaction and connectivity can be overcome, we hope to pave the way for an Academic Village that will embody sustainable ideals, contribute to the economic health of our region, and foster a deeper “sense of place.” This project was conducted under the supervision of Donald J. Stastny and Edward Starkie.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Black and Green: How Disinvestment, Displacement and Segregation Created the Conditions For Eco-Gentrification in Portland's Albina District, 1940-2015 Author: Ause, Carter William Year: 2016 The historically African-American Albina District of Portland, Oregon holds a long track record of neighborhood neglect, devaluation and displacement of poor residents by private real estate companies and city government. Devaluation in the area was the direct result of discriminatory real estate policies and mid-20th Century urban renewal projects. Starting in the 1990s, the city passed revitalization measures to increase private investment in the neighborhood and few historians have tackled studies of recent sustainability-oriented gentrification resulting from revitalization. Though contemporary works in urban studies at Portland State University have looked at revitalization and subsequent ecological gentrification in the area, the subject of gentrification in Albina has not been adequately analyzed by historians. Ecological gentrification can be defined as an environmental planning agenda that leads to the displacement or exclusion of the most economically vulnerable human populations while espousing an environmental ethic. Using archival documents, public histories, social histories, newspaper articles, census data and works in urban studies, first this study analyzes residential segregation, displacement and disinvestment over a 50-year period (1940-1990). This 50-year period provides adequate context for examining sustainability-oriented real estate projects, rising rents, as well as changing racial and socioeconomic demographics over a 25-year period (1990-2015). Since the Vanport Flood in 1948, post-war urban renewal projects, segregationist redlining policies, faulty mortgage lenders and city-initiated revitalization efforts have formed the conditions for Albina’s recent wave of ecological gentrification. The issue here is not environmentalism itself, but rather the way in which environmentalism can be used to justify social and economic inequalities brought upon by new development.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Boise Neighborhood Gateway Project Author: Andreades, Debra, Khan, Arif, Hughes, Emily, Konkol, Tony Year: 2001 This project is a plan to transform an under-utilized parcel of public land into a community asset. Through the analysis of construction, funding, site constraints, maintenance and stewardship options, the project team created a design concept and implementation plan for a parcel of land adjacent to the Interstate 5 freeway. The project team solicited input from community residents through a public involvement process and created an advisory committee consisting of stakeholders to provide guidance for the project. The plan documents the process of project initiation and the selection of alternatives. This plan may be used as a reference for enhancing publicly owned parcels in other neighborhoods. The site is an unimproved 1.5-acre parcel abutting a raised portion of I- 5 situated on the west side of N. Mississippi Avenue between N. Monroe Street to the north and N. Stanton Street to the south. (See Figure 6) The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) owns the parcel Initial inquiries by the project team indicated that the Oregon Department of Transportation would be willing to allow improvements to the landscape on this parcel. After making preliminary contacts with the Boise neighborhood, the Albina Youth Opportunity School (A YOS) and the Mississippi Historic District Target Area (Mississippi Target Area), the project team, looking south found that the creation of a neighborhood gateway met the needs of the area. For this reason the Mississippi Target Area, which is involved in numerous neighborhood revitalization projects, was chosen as an appropriate client for the project. Working with the concept of a neighborhood gateway, the project team conducted two public workshops to gather input from the neighborhood regarding the use and design of the site. Representatives from the Oregon Department of Transportation, City of Portland Environmental Services, Albina Youth Opportunity School (A YOS), the Mississippi Target Area, the Portland Development Commission, and neighborhood representatives served on an advisory committee that reviewed design suggestions from the community. This project was conducted under the supervision of Deborah Howe, Tom Sanchez, and Connie Ozawa.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: An Inquiry into Portland's Canine Quandary: Recommendations for a Citywide Off-leash Program Author: Gimour, Jeff, Gundersen, Heather, Miller, Doug, Moore, Emily, Rose, Amy Year: 2003 The City of Portland currently faces a difficult challenge. As the population continues to grow, greater pressure is placed upon the limited amount of public open space available for recreation. As stated in the Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) 2020 Vision Plan, "Demographic, recreational, and funding trends suggest that both current shortages and future needs will intensify and produce inequities in our cherished park system" (PP&R, 2001). Today, Portland's already strained park system struggles to accommodate demands for the myriad of recreational activities. Competition among park users - joggers, tennis players, picnickers, dog owners, bicyclists, and others - for limited resources will only intensify leading to a greater number conflicts in Portland parks. The case studies conducted for the project yielded valuable information about what other cities have done to implement successful off-leash programs. The fieldwork also produced many interesting findings regarding the needs and opinions of park users. Based upon this work, a set of final recommendations has been formulated that we hope will be given serious consideration by all of the stakeholders. This project was conducted under the supervision of Sy Adler and Jennifer Dill.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lents Strong: Community Action Plan for a Livable, Affordable Neighborhood Author: Brunelle, Adam, DeVitis, Drew, Groecki, Carson, Lust, Claire, Sellin, Katie, Todoroff, John Year: 2016 This is a community action and advocacy plan, created in consultation with neighborhood organizations and underrepresented communities most at risk for displacement. It focuses on actions where collaboration and community engagement will have the largest impacts. This is a plan for the next five years. The overarching goals of the plan are to: Ensure the viability of Livable Lents. Livable Lents should remain a transparent, accountable, accessible, and holistic community engagement process that works collaboratively with nonprofits, city agencies, and community members. This plan serves in part as a collaboration strategy which integrates engagement on a wide range of projects that are integral to livability and affordability. Build community capacity for advocacy on key issues. This plan is intended as both the continuation of conversations that have been occurring for years as well as the impetus for community-driven advocacy efforts around the issues most important to Lents residents. Through its 2015 survey, Livable Lents identified a list of community priorities for future attention. Lents Strong expands and diversifies the conversation around these priority areas. Foster effective collaboration. Commitment by those already doing important work in the community is crucial to the successful implementation of the recommendations in this plan. This will ensure that the work is both wide reaching and lasting. This project was conducted under the supervision of Ethan Seltzer, Marisa Zapata, Susan Hartnett, Lisa Bates, and Vivek Shandas.
