flag Portland will enforce its public camping ban in November, offering shelter options before citing or arresting people.

flag Portland will resume enforcing its public camping ban in November, focusing on connecting unhoused individuals to shelter and services rather than issuing citations or making arrests. flag After expanding emergency shelter capacity with over 1,000 new beds, enforcement will prioritize offering reasonable alternatives like congregate shelters, transitional housing, or hotel placements before citing individuals who refuse them or violate other city codes. flag No one will be arrested solely for camping, though those with warrants or involved in criminal activity may still face arrest. flag Residents should report encampments via 311 or the city’s online portal, not 911. flag A summary of citations will be released next week.
