Two town hall meetings are being hosted by several Neighborhood Associations and a group of Bend residents. The objectives of these meetings are to educate Bend residents on the proposed shelter code amendments (information here), describe programs that successfully serve the houseless, discuss with the panel their expectations related to the proposed changes, and engage in productive dialogue via Q&A with the panel.

Sitting on the panel of speakers are:
– Deschutes County Commissioner: Patti Adair
– Bend City Councilor: Megan Perkins
– Bend Chief of Police: Mike Krantz
– Houseless Service Provider: Alan Evans (CEO Helping Hands Re-Entry)

The meetings will be held at the new Caldera High School Auditorium on Monday April 25 and Wednesday April 27, both from 5:15-7:30pm. Please register ahead of time for these events using these links:  April 25 Meeting or April 27 Meeting
