Portland Street Response is transforming how our city responds to people in crisis — offering care, compassion and connection instead of criminalization. Now, Portlanders have a chance to build its next chapter.

The Portland Street Response Advisory Committee (PSRC) is recruiting new members to advise City Council and city leadership on recommendations on how to strengthen and sustain this vital program. This is your opportunity to help guide and shape how crisis response is integrated into our first responder system.
