The City of Tigard, Oregon was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Justice's Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753) to establish a full-time Community Service Officer position for the Tigard Police Homelessness Community Service Officer Program. The primary purpose of this program is to provide an unarmed, uniformed officer who will build relationships with the local homeless community, connect individuals with social services, and participate in community meetings. The expected outcomes include a better understanding of homelessness issues, a reduction in the homeless population, and the implementation of short-term and long-term solutions. The program aims to shift the city's response to homelessness from relying on police officers to utilizing a dedicated Community Service Officer, bridging the gap in services needed by the homeless population. The award period is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026.
