Location

To address the community's critical need for more shelter space and safe sleeping options, the City acquired property at the corner of SW 17th Avenue and TV Highway in the winter of 2021 to become the home of Hillsboro's first year-round shelter for adults experiencing homelessness. At the time of purchase, the property included ample greenspace, parking areas, and two vacant buildings.

Why was this location chosen?

• When the property was purchased, existing structures on the site had been vacant for many years. Revitalizing the property will increase visual appeal while onsite staffing and services bring expanded security and debris management to the location.
  
  
• The site offers immediate access to frequently serviced bus line, employment opportunities, food, and medical care, as well as close access to Washington County Community Action and Open Door Housing Works Day Center.
