Year-Round Shelter

The City is leading with compassion to meet the needs of all members of our community by reducing homelessness through collaborative and proven solutions, including creating adequate options for year-round shelter with rapid pathways to housing.

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 to create a future year-round shelter. The property currently includes ample greenspace, parking areas, and two vacant buildings.

As the Year-Round Shelter Project moves forward, the temporary Safe Rest Pods on SW 17th Avenue are providing safe sleeping spaces and support services on the property from through late summer or fall 2024.

$850,000 in Funding Secured

With support from Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, Senator Jeff Merkley, and Senator Ron Wyden, the project received $850,000 in Community Project Funding through the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.

We are grateful for the continued efforts of our elected officials!

The City of Hillsboro continues to explore options to help meet the total project costs.

Design-Build Team Selected

After a competitive Request for Proposals process, project partners have selected Walsh Construction & Holst Architecture as the shelter's Design-Build Team.

This collaborative contract will help us keep the project within budget as prices for labor and materials fluctuate.
