Updated December 10, 2020 A shelter opens today in the former Greyhound bus station in Portland's Old Town that can fit up to 100 houseless Portlanders while maintaining 6 feet of distance between people. The Downtown Physical Distancing Winter Shelter, a 30,000-square-foot space at 550 NW 6th Ave., provides 24-hour access to laundry services, showers, three meals per day, and housing navigation services. The shelter prioritizes veterans, people 55 and older, and those with disabling conditions. The shelter was announced a few months ago, after the owner of the space agreed to issue a temporary lease set to expire in March 2021. The housing services organization Transition Projects will manage the shelter and is partnering with Central City Concern to assist Portlanders.
