With wraparound services and 24/7 staffing, the new shelter aims to provide stability, dignity and a path forward.

PORTLAND, Ore. — In an effort to expand shelter capacity for individuals experiencing homelessness, the Joint Office of Homeless Services (JOHS) has announced the opening of Oak Street Village at 333 Southeast 82nd Avenue in Portland. The new site will provide temporary shelter and wraparound services for those living in cars, offering a stable environment as they transition to permanent housing.

"This is part of that journey, part of that new beginnings that we're all hopeful for Portland, and we're here to celebrate that," said Portland Mayor Keith Wilson.

Oak Street Village features 29 individual sleeping pods designed for accessibility, providing a safe and comfortable space for up to 40 adults aged 18 and older. Each unit includes a bed, locking door, heating or air conditioning, and storage space.

"The purpose of the setup was that someone would be very comfortable, warm and safe inside the facility," said Pastor Dwight Minnieweather, site operator and director of nonprofit provider Straightway Services, which will run the shelter.

The shelter will also include on-site trash services, showers, restrooms, laundry facilities and a kitchenette. Six metal relocatable shelters will house staff offices and participant service spaces. A green space and covered outdoor community area will further enhance the environment, while an 8-foot privacy fence surrounds the property.

With 33 parking spaces on-site, Oak Street Village is specifically designed to serve individuals currently living in passenger vehicles. Guests will be able to keep their beds as long as needed while working with case managers to transition into permanent housing.

Pastor Minnieweather brings a personal connection to his work at Oak Street Village. Formerly unhoused and battling addiction, he credits a helping hand in his life for his recovery.

"If somebody hadn't done this for me ... that's the difference. Somebody did this for me when I was 39. I'm 64. It changed my whole life," he said.

Now, he aims to provide that same opportunity to others.

"The overall goal of getting someone in here was just simply not to look and say, 'You need a handout.' My whole concept was if you give themselves a chance to see themselves again in a normal environment, it might trigger their mind to a normal state," he said.

Dan Field, director of the Homeless Services Division with Multnomah County, emphasized that the program prioritizes individuals from the surrounding Montavilla neighborhood, particularly those currently living in their cars.

"We know that there are people within blocks of us right now who are sleeping in their car or camping; we're going to focus primarily on them to start with," Field said.

Oak Street Village will operate on a reservation basis, allowing residents to stay as long as needed while working toward permanent housing.

"Our goal — absolutely — is to get people stabilized and move them on their journey. The goal is not to shelter people forever," Field said.

The shelter will be staffed 24/7 and will follow robust safety protocols, including continuous supervision and clear communication channels with neighbors to ensure smooth operations.

The day-to-day costs of Oak Street Village will be covered by the Metro Supportive Housing Services Measure, approved by voters in 2020. Capital costs were funded by the state of Oregon.

With the first residents expected to move in within the coming weeks, Oak Street Village represents a step forward in Portland’s efforts to combat homelessness by providing safety, dignity and a pathway to permanent housing.

The National Weather Service NEXRAD radar in Portland that tracks rain, snow and sleet across northwest Oregon went out for about five hours Thursday morning but was back on by about 10:40 a.m., officials said.

The radar went down at about 5:30 a.m., NWS officials said. Many private websites that use the NWS Portland radar, which is located between Portland and Scappoose, were showing an incomplete picture.

At one point, even though it was snowing in Salem, the radar didn’t show that actually happening.

The radar went down because of a blown fuse that likely happened when the power for it was switched from commercial power to a generator, NWS meteorologist Colby Neuman said. Electrical teams were able to fix it relatively quickly once they got on site.

“Obviously the timing was not good,” Neuman said. "It could go down again when it switches off generator power and back onto commercial power but we can go back up and fix it again if needed."

For a while Thursday morning, Neuman said NWS Portland was using web cameras, satellites, weather spotters and airport data from cities across Oregon to paint a picture of the weather that’s taking place.

When the Portland radar was down, the radar that was being shown came from Hoquiam, Washington. Because it’s so far away, there was much less detail of the Willamette Valley.

“There was snow falling, but it couldn't see it,” Neuman said. “It’s up at about 15,000 feet and most snow is being generated below that.”

The radar has gone out multiple times in the past but has been "pretty good" overall, Neuman said.

The Portland metro area could see snow flurries or up to three inches of snow Thursday morning. There could be more snow or freezing rain Friday morning.

PORTLAND, Ore. — KGW has called Weather Impact Alert days each morning this week for freezing temperatures, and Thursday and Friday due to the threat of snow or freezing rain for parts of the Willamette Valley, including the Portland metro area.

See the latest forecast from KGW

Temperatures overnight and into the morning hours will be in the 20s around the valley this week. Anyone spending an extended period of time outside will want to dress for cold weather.

The Portland metro area could see snow flurries or up to three inches of snow Thursday morning before it tapers off in the afternoon. Temperatures will rise a few degrees above freezing during the day, but will fall back below 32 degrees Thursday night. That would cause any snow and ice that fell to either stay frozen or re-freeze. It's likely that snowfall will transition to freezing rain Thursday night, as the next band of precipitation moves in.

The last round of precipitation will arrive as freezing rain or snow Friday morning. The afternoon could see some clearing.

Temperatures are expected to stay below freezing Saturday morning, and anything remaining on the ground will melt in the afternoon as a warmer weather system moves in. Saturday afternoon will be above freezing.

Thursday late morning and Friday morning of this week for parts of the Willamette Valley for possible sticking snow and/or freezing rain.

Potential for accumulating snow and/or freezing rain in the Portland metro area on Thursday and Friday. Roads could be slick and/or icy. The winter weather could cause school closures or delays.

Before Thursday, monitor forecasts for the latest details. If snow sticks and accumulates, or there's ice on the roads, the streets will be slick. Drivers should stay off the roads or use extra caution if they have to travel.

It’s our goal to make sure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information about the weather and its impact on you. The new KGW Weather Impact Alerts will be just that, alerts as far in advance as possible, so that you can be armed with accurate information to keep yourself and your family safe.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Lower elevations of the Portland metro area saw seeing sticking snow Wednesday morning. It's the wettest day of the week.

Just after 9 a.m., traffic cameras showed light snow accumulating on grass and roads in the area, including on Highway 26 at Sylvan and Interstate 5 at Capitol Highway. Some areas in downtown Portland and the West Hills saw light snow showers earlier Wednesday morning, but those showers resulted in no accumulation.

Snow showers were likely to peak between 7 and 9 a.m., according to KGW chief meteorologist Matt Zaffino. The forecast called for a trace to an inch of snow could in the lowlands, depending on temperatures, while the coast and the West Hills was forecasted to pick up an inch to three inches of snow, Zaffino said.

Precipitation was expected to be quite varied; some areas saw more frequent showers and others saw no snow accumulation. Areas above 500 feet had a better chance of seeing more than an inch of snow, Zaffino said.

Temperatures are expected to warm by late Wednesday morning, and as a south wind kicks in, that will end the chance for any sticking snow, according to Zaffino.

KGW issued Weather Impact Alert days in Portland through noon on Wednesday and Thursday morning due to the snow showers and the accumulating snow on the Willamette Valley floor.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the western valley and the Oregon Coast for snow showers. Parts of the coast are also under a Winter Storm Warning.

Low temperatures on Thursday will be around 30 degrees. Any precipitation on roads could re-freeze during the Thursday morning hours, which could create icy and slick conditions.

This story will be updated if the forecast changes.
