- PCRI Expands Affordable Housing in North Portland
Permanent Supportive Community Opens Photo Courtesy of PCRI Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives (PCRI) will cut the ribbon on a much-needed Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project in the North and Northeast Portland area on Friday, October 24. “The opening of Kafoury Court means 40 units will be available for individuals suffering from chronic homelessness and will now be given an opportunity to have a place they can call home,” said Executive Director Kymberly Horner. “Our work is rooted in restoring access and dignity for Portlanders who’ve faced barriers to housing for far too long. This is what community reinvestment truly looks like.” These PSH units will consist of one-bedroom and studio apartments. People with the highest barriers to housing and who are currently experiencing homelessness will be given priority through Multnomah County’s Coordinated Access priority pool. Developed for residents who have experienced these challenges, Kafoury Court will do more than just put a roof over their heads. In partnership with Northwest Pilot Project (NWPP) and Black Community of Portland (BCP), residents will receive onsite supports right from the start, including assistance during the leasing process. PCRI will also place permanent Support Specialists onsite to work with NWPP and BCP. Acting as a liaison for residents after move-in, the Support Specialists will ensure long-term housing and health stability. Once settled, individuals can receive voluntary supportive services and community-based connections to help maintain stability, pursue personal goals, and improve overall well-being. "Northwest Pilot Project is so pleased to be part of this new housing option for older adults who've experienced chronic homelessness,” said Laura Golino de Lovato, Executive Director at Northwest Pilot Project. “Older adults are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population in the Portland Metro area. Kafoury Court represents safe and lasting housing stability for one of the most vulnerable populations in our community. We're looking forward to working in partnership with Black Community of Portland, and with PCRI." The building is designed to foster community and connection, with gathering spaces on each floor where residents can enjoy the sunlight and spend time together outside their apartments. These shared spaces help prevent the isolation that can often occur when living alone. The main-floor community room will feature a piano, open to anyone who wishes to play or simply relax and enjoy the music. PCRI invites you to the Grand Opening of Kafoury Court on Friday, October 24, 2025, at 4080 NE Grand Avenue in Portland. The celebration will run from 11:15 a.m. to 2 p.m . , marking an exciting new chapter for the community.
- ODHS Notifies Households of SNAP Changes
Residents Learn About New Federal Rules ODHS began mailing notices to Oregonians whose SNAP benefits will change or end due to new federal rules The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) began mailing notices Oct. 15, 2025, to people in Oregon who applied for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits between July 4 through Sept. 30, 2025, and whose food benefits will change or end due to new federal changes from the U.S. Congress and the President. During the next 10 months, ODHS will use the new H.R.1 laws when SNAP benefits are updated. These changes are required by federal law and will affect more than 313,000 people currently receiving SNAP in Oregon. “We know how important SNAP is to families across Oregon,” said Dana Hittle, ODHS Acting Deputy Director and co-lead of the agency’s federal response team. “We are sharing this information now so people can prepare. Any reduction in benefits makes it harder to put food on the table, and ODHS is committed to helping families adjust and find support.” Key dates include Oct. 15, 2025, when notices will begin mailing to affected households that applied or renewed between July 4 and September 30. On Nov. 1, 2025, the first benefit reductions and case closures will take effect. Additional changes will continue rolling out through 2026 as households renew benefits or when benefits are updated. Households that qualified for the Full Utility Allowance (FUA) through programs like LIHEAP or Heat and Eat will see changes. Only households with at least one member who is 60 or older or has a disability will automatically qualify for FUA due to energy assistance. All households that pay for heat or cooling separately from housing will still qualify for FUA, even if energy assistance covers part of their heat or cooling bill. About 29,000 households will lose FUA, reducing their benefits by an average of $58 per month, and roughly 9,600 households will receive notices on Oct. 15, 2025, about benefit reductions beginning Nov. 1, 2025. Starting Oct. 1, 2025, Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWD) work rules will expand to include adults ages 18–64 who do not have children under 14 in their SNAP group. People who meet an exemption do not have to follow the ABAWD work rules to receive SNAP; a full list of exemptions is available on the SNAP Work Rules website under the “Who is exempt” section. Those who do not meet the ABAWD work rules may lose benefits after three months. The H.R.1 rules began in Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, Yamhill, Benton, and Hood River counties on Oct. 1, 2025, and will soon expand statewide. Approximately 310,000 adults will be newly evaluated for work rule requirements. If you think these rules may apply to you, don’t wait to start planning. Contact the ODHS ABAWD team at 833-947-1694, email SNAP.ABAWDTeam@odhsoha.oregon.gov or visit a local ODHS office. ODHS understands that these federal changes will affect hundreds of thousands of people in Oregon. While the state must follow federal rules, help and resources are available. For food support, visit the ODHS Food Resources website to find local programs in your community. Older adults and people with disabilities can connect with the Aging and Disability Resource Connection of Oregon (ADRC) for assistance in finding government and community resources by calling 1-855-673-2372 or visiting www.adrcoforegon.org . Additional support is available through 211info by dialing 2-1-1, texting your ZIP code to 898-211, or visiting www.211info.org

- Portland Fire Names Alex Sarama as First Head Coach
Building a Forward-Thinking Foundation in Women's Basketball Alex Sarama the franchise’s first head coach (AP) The Portland Fire hired Alex Sarama as the franchise’s first head coach Friday. Sarama is currently an assistant coach for the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Fire, who begin play next season, had leaked the hire a few days earlier on one of their social media pages. “Alex represents the next generation of coaching,” Fire general manager Vanja Černivec said. “He’s not just teaching the game, he’s transforming it. His approach to player development, grounded in evidence-based science, research and creativity, aligns with our vision to make Portland a global hub for innovation in women’s sports.” Sarama worked with Černivec at the NBA Europe office in Madrid many years ago. The two also worked together at the London Lions women in the British Basketball League. “The opportunity to build something from the ground up is unique,” Sarama said. “At the Fire, we’re not just creating a team — we’re redefining how the game is taught and played, through an approach centered around adaptability and supported by evidence-informed methodologies. We want to create a new standard for the game.” Sarama joins Portland after serving as an assistant and director of player development for the Cavaliers. Sarama is one of the proponents of the Constraints-Led Approach, or CLA training philosophy. San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama and Kelsey Plum are among those who have embraced the method, which eschews repetitive isolated drills and instead encourages creativity and problem-solving by manipulating constraints, including things like rules and time limits. Sarama wrote about many of the CLA principles in his book, “Transforming Basketball,” published in 2024. Sarama was the director of player development for the Rip City Remix, the Portland Trail Blazers’ NBA G League team, for its inaugural season in 2023-24 before joining the Cavaliers. Earlier this week, the Fire named Ashley Battle as the team’s vice president of basketball operations, strategy and innovation. Battle, a former star at UConn, comes to the Fire from the Maine Celtics, the Boston Celtics’ G League affiliate, where she was assistant general manager. Battle also served as a scout for the Celtics and spent the last three seasons as part of the broadcast team for the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun.
- Anthony Jordan Receives Fora Health Freedom Award
Health Leader Honored for Recovery Work Anthony Jordan, Multnomah County Interim Behavioral Health Division Director, with Fora Health CEO Devarshi Bajpai. (Image credit: Fora Health) Anthony Jordan, Interim Behavioral Health Division Director at the Multnomah County Health Department, is the recipient of this year’s Fora Health Samuel C. Wheeler Freedom Award. The award was presented at the 2025 Hope and Freedom Gala on Oct. 4, an evening dedicated to celebrating the power of recovery. Fora Health, formerly De Paul Treatment Centers, provides trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment for adult substance use disorder. They offer a full continuum of care, dedicated to making recovery accessible by welcoming everyone regardless of their background or ability to pay. According to Fora Health, “Mr. Jordan is being recognized for his exceptional and transformative service in the field of addiction and his personal commitment to sobriety, embodying the spirit of recovery for over 30 years. Anthony has witnessed many choose the road to recovery and sees a glimmer of hope even in the worst circumstances.” “This award is a recognition of dedication and it's a testament to the fact that when leaders like Anthony pair compassion and persistence with a clear-eyed strategy, we can rewrite the future for countless individuals and families impacted by one of the biggest issues of our time,” said Rachael Banks, Multnomah County Health Department Director. “Anthony has shown us that by focusing on people first, and addressing both behaviors and the underlying causes, we can help people achieve sustainable recovery and build a system where hope and healing are always within reach.” With 33 years of experience in a variety of settings, Jordan possesses significant expertise in behavioral health. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Social Science with a minor in Administration of Justice, and an Executive Master’s degree in Public Administration from Portland State University. In 2021, then Gov. Kate Brown appointed him to serve as a commissioner on the Oregon State Alcohol and Drug Policy Council, where he later became chair. Throughout his career, Jordan has demonstrated a remarkable ability to work with community partners, elected officials and the community at large to address complex issues related to behavioral health and substance use. Most recently, he provided essential leadership on Multnomah County’s response to the 90-Day Fentanyl Emergency Declaration, also declared by the City of Portland and State of Oregon, and Jordan played a key role in developing the County’s deflection services program and Coordinated Care Pathway Center. In his spare time, Jordan enjoys traveling the world with his wife, cooking and spending time on the golf course.

- Squishin’ Accomplished, Pumpkins Demolished
Elephants Join Oregon Zoo’s Squishing of the Squash Asian elephants Chendra, left, and Sung-Surin enjoy some giant pumpkins at the Oregon Zoo during its 27th annual Squishing of the Squash. (Photo by Kelsey Erickson, courtesy of the Oregon Zoo) Some of the world’s largest land animals demolished some of the area’s largest pumpkins today during the Oregon Zoo’s 27th annual Squishing of the Squash. “We gave our elephants some extra-large pumpkins to stomp on and chomp on,” said Steve Lefave, who oversees the zoo’s Asian elephant area. “First they squashed them, then they noshed them.” At 8 months old, Tula-Tu was not yet old enough to participate in the Squishing — one of this year’s pumpkins weighed more than she does! — but care staff presented her with a smaller pumpkin, which she kicked around like a soccer ball before the main event. The Squishing of the Squash tradition dates back to 1999, when Hoffman’s Dairy Garden of Canby dropped off a prize-winning 828-pound pumpkin for the elephant family. Farmers often offered their overstock pumpkins for use in the zoo’s groundbreaking animal enrichment efforts — enhancing animals’ well-being with stimulating and challenging environments, objects and activities. This year’s pumpkins — which included a 1,000-pounder presented to Tula’s big brother, Samudra, and father, Samson — were provided by Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers Club member Larry Nelson. Asian elephants are considered highly endangered, with just 40,000 to 50,000 remaining in fragmented populations from India to Borneo. The zoo has established a $1 million endowment fund to help the species and supports a broad range of efforts — including the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ SAFE program to advance conservation across all 13 Asian elephant range countries. The zoo also collaborates with local partners in Borneo to create lasting conservation solutions, from replanting forests and establishing protected corridors to fostering peaceful coexistence between elephants and communities. As part of Metro, the Oregon Zoo helps make greater Portland a great place to call home. Committed to conservation, the zoo acts globally on behalf of species from pikas to polar bears. Over the past 30 years, it has prevented extinctions, expanded populations, advanced conservation science, and formed powerful communities to protect wildlife in the Northwest and around the world. To plan your trip, go to oregonzoo.org/visit . Support from the Oregon Zoo Foundation enhances and expands the zoo’s efforts in species recovery, conservation education and animal well-being. Members, donors and corporate and foundation partners help the zoo make a difference across the region and around the world. To contribute, go to oregonzoo.org/give .

- Concerns Raised Over Detention of U.S. Citizen by ICE in Portland
US Citizen Detained and Held at ICE Building for Hours Before Release, Lawyer Says The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building is seen in Portland, Ore., Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025. (AP Photo/Jenny Kane) (AP) — A U.S. citizen in Portland, Oregon, was detained by plainclothes officers and held at the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building for hours before being released, according to his attorney. Frank Miranda was outside his place of work early on Oct. 2 when multiple agents wearing masks, who did not identify themselves, approached him and told him he was “on an overstay,” his attorney Michael Fuller said. In a video that Miranda took of his detention, he can be heard saying, “What do you mean, overstay? I don’t know what that is.” He told the officers that he was born in California. After objecting to being taken into custody and saying he hadn’t done anything wrong, an officer can be heard on the video saying, “We’re gonna put you in cuffs or you’re gonna get the dog.” Miranda was then struck from behind, handcuffed and put into an unmarked vehicle that took him to Portland’s ICE building, Fuller said. He was held there for several hours before being driven back to his place of work. ICE and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comment. Fuller said it was the first detention of a U.S. citizen on the pretext of being in the country illegally that he was aware of in Oregon. Such detentions have occurred elsewhere in the country, including in Alabama, Florida and Southern California. Aggressive immigration enforcement has been central to President Donald Trump’s agenda. Democratic U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum said she was “infuriated” by what happened to her constituent. “Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans,” she said in a statement. Fuller, who said he has a copy of Miranda’s California birth certificate, sent a tort claim notice to the Department of Homeland Security and a letter to its leader Kristi Noem, requesting the documents and information used to justify the detention. DHS oversees ICE. “I hope that ICE and the senior officials will just provide us the documentation,” Fuller said. “If it truly was an honest mistake that couldn’t have been avoided, then we won’t go to court. Right now, we’ve just been given no answers. And so that’s all we’re asking for at this point, it’s just answers.”

So this season, leave the car keys at home and join the thousands of fans who ride TriMet to every Blazers game. And, if you have a Hop pass through work or school, you can use it to ride to the game and save even more. Just remember to stop at the green Hop reader and tap your card before you step on board. Riders should expect TriMet buses, MAX trains and platforms to be more crowded than usual and bustling with activity, especially after the game. We encourage riders to plan a little extra time. If you need help with your travel plans, you can go one-on-one via text message or over the phone at 503-238-7433 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and on X at @trimethelp . TriMet’s Rose Quarter Transit Center is one of the region’s busiest and most convenient transit hubs. It serves all MAX lines and multiple bus lines.

Game day tips for riding You’ll score big money and time savings when you take TriMet to the Blazers. But a little preparation goes a long way — especially on game nights when trains and buses are busy with excited fans. Plan Ahead: Check MAX and bus schedules on trimet.org to find the quickest, most convenient trip. Real-time service updates help you avoid delays. Tap and Go: Use your Hop Fastpass® or contactless payment on MAX and bus trips for a smooth, cash-free ride. Always remember to tap your card at the Hop reader before you go. The tap—not the card itself—is your proof of fare. If you need a Hop card, it’s available for purchase and reloading on MAX station platforms. Arrive Early: Beat the crowds by arriving before tipoff. Early arrival gives you time to grab snacks, a beverage, find your seats and enjoy the pre-game atmosphere without the rush. Skip Parking Hassles: Save time and money. Not only do you avoid traffic and stress, but a two-way trip on TriMet is magnitudes less than the $20 or $30 it costs to park. Expect crowds: After the final buzzer, hop on MAX or a bus to get home comfortably. TriMet offers frequent service, so you won’t have to wait long after the game. We also always have extra security and personnel on hand to help crowds. Please be patient and stay safe when you’re at the platform, and always look before you cross the tracks.
