Portland

Does it matter that Portland has the national spotlight for visible tent encampments and open drug use? Probably not for the people most affected by public sleeping rules in PDX.

Grants Pass

This city in Southern Oregon was sued for its local laws that prevented people from camping anywhere on public property. Now people without housing can stay at almost any park in Grants Pass, but they have to move every three days.

Brownsville

The tiny city in Oregon raises some big constitutional questions about where to allow people without housing to sleep (Brownsville put them on Main Street to make them a spectacle). A look at how we got here, from Martin v. Boise, Johnson v.Grants Pass and the 8th Amendment to Oregon HB 3115. Read more about the decisions by city elected leaders in Brownsville, and the rest of the series, here. New episodes every Tuesday.

Lebanon

How did the last couple of elections change the way East Linn County interacts with its unhoused residents? Well, a Capitol insurrection attendee is on the city council in Sweet Home. And in Lebanon, three elected officials ran with Constitutional conservative branding for non-partisan positions.

Sweet Home

Why does Sweet Home's homeless shelter punch above the tiny city's weight? Welcome to East Linn County, Oregon. We've still got Trump flags and, now, the region's only designated sleeping place for folks actively self-medicating with alcohol and narcotics.

Corvallis

Does anyone know where they're supposed to be? Corvallis, Oregon, is trying to get through to the folks sleeping in public with colorful brochures that show where they're not supposed to be: near creeks, rivers, wetlands, sidewalks or within 20 feet of trees. Read more about Corvallis camping rules, and the rest of the series here. New episodes every Tuesday.

We're still sleeping

We'll be back next week to learn what happens when you lose your housing in Corvallis. It’s the most rent-burdened city in Oregon — which is one of the most rent-burdened states in the Country. We’re really excited about it and we think you will be, too. Until then, our reporters are still visiting overnight in cities around Oregon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Albany, part I

What is it like to be kicked out of a designated sleeping site? Cities across Oregon in July 2023 designated places where someone legally can sleep. Police evicted Dusty Bryant after he couldn't fit his belongings in his tent at Marvin's Garden, a gravel-covered property near the county jail with room for 15 residents and the city of Albany's response to a state law that took effect in July. Then Bryant overdosed. Reporters at the Albany Democrat-Herald have explored the constitutional right to a night's rest across Oregon for A Place to Sleep. New episodes every Tuesday.

@fatarae

I really appreciate this podcast. My Mom, long gone now, used to say, “there but for the grace of God, go I.” While I do not subscribe to the religious tone, the sentiment is nonetheless perfect. We, as a society, treat the houseless abhorrently. A little bit of compassion goes a long way.
