The City of Beaverton provides additional funds for program infrastructure (port-a-potties, handwashing stations, and storage pods).Qualified applicants will have a strong ability to work with extremely vulnerable populations through a trauma-informed lens while responsibly working in collaboration with the City of Beaverton (including police), other service providers, host sites, surrounding neighbors, and other key stakeholders.
