Just as the homeless issues in Old Town in Portland were seeming to catch momentum, the outdoor village homeless shelter in the neighborhood is closing.

The village was operated by All Good Northwest, an organization dedicated to providing ‘wrap-around’ services to transition people from homelessness to permanent housing. But an increase in violence, specifically around guns, became too much for the organization’s staff to bear.

“We had shootings in very close proximity to the village in Old Town and we even had staff who were the first responders at a shooting. It just became a dangerous and untenable situation,” Andy Goebel said, the executive director of All Good.
