Chris Herring, Associate Professor at UCLA, presents his session for attendees of the 2023 Oregon Housing Conference on Addiction and Homelessness, "The Criminalization of Homelessness in San Francisco," speaking about how changes to local laws and how police policy and procedure have changed in San Francisco, decreasing access to safe shelter and increasing legal penalties for being homeless.

The Oregon Housing Conference 2023 was presented by the Mental Health Association of Portland in partnership with Street Roots and the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon.
The audience for the 2023 Oregon Housing Conference was national, knowledgeable, and keenly interested in the confluence of addiction and homelessness. We estimate the conference will be attended by 1000 persons - clinicians and healthcare directors, housing developers and administrators, policy-makers, direct care workers, people with lived experience, students, advocates and community leaders, and funders. The Conference provided over 500 partial scholarships for full time students and people with lived experience of mental illness and addiction, and deep discounts for public defenders.
