Homelessness impacts individuals, families, andcommunities across the country.
In Hillsboro and Washington County, there are not enough shelter beds for everyone who needs them on any given night.
As the City of Hillsboro works with community partners to pursue long-term solutions andcreate a Year-Round Shelter, we are also working to comply with federal and state laws that recognize the need for community members to sleep and rest on public property.
Oregon House Bill 3115: Updates to Camping Rules
House Bill 3115 requires cities to allow community members to sleep and rest on public property — with restrictions — when no shelter beds are accessible.
According to the new law, cities and counties in Oregon — including the City of Hillsboro — must review and update local ordinances, or rules, that regulate sitting, lying, sleeping, or keeping warm and dry outdoors on public property by July 1, 2023.
This means the City of Hillsboro needs to make changes to current municipal code, which bans all camping in public spaces.
