Despite the pouring rain, a happy crowd was in attendance at the ground- breaking ceremony for the Seven Corners Community Collaborative building in October. The land donated to Community Vision in April 2014 by Multnomah County enabled the non-profit to build a space where other non-profits could reside.
The 25,000 square feet building will be home to Community Vision, two partner organizations: FACT Oregon and Community Pathways, and an Assistive Technology Discovery Lab where families will be able to access life-changing technologies.
The building was designed by Waterleaf and according to architect David Donaldson, it took quite a bit of engineering to design the plan and meet with the Ladd’s edition historic district regulations.
Please join us for our groundbreaking celebration to kick-off of our Seven Corners Community Collaborative building. The new building will serve as Portland’s first universally designed public building and will offer a unique opportunity to provide services & programs for individuals and their families experiencing disabilities. At 25,000 square feet, the building will be home to Community Vision, two partner organizations – FACT Oregon and Community Pathways, and an Assistive Technology Discovery Lab where families will be able to access life-changing technologies.
When: Thursday | October 20th | 11:00am-1:00pm
Where: 1949 SE Division Street, Portland, OR
We must take action today and tomorrow. The vote is happening Thursday, and everyone's voices need to be heard. Lots of great info in this article and links to more. Call and email your senators and encourage your friends and family to do so as well.

The proposed American Health Care Act (AHCA) would cut Medicaid by an unprecedented $834 billion; gut the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) consumer
The future for so many people will be decided by a highly charged vote that happens later this week. Call, write, email... make sure your voice is heard.
ACTION: Many people with disabilities rely on our local Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan, for home and community-based services & supports. People like Luke Sang in Tigard rely on these supports to stay in their homes, or live independently. Federal dollars fund roughly two-thirds of the costs for these services and supports. The AHCA's deep cuts to Medicaid would decimate these tools that help people to stay in their home. Tell your story.
