Recommendation: <br /> <br /> 1. Support legislation that provides for quality after school and school-break programs, <br /> mentoring, community schools and other coordinated prevention programs for youth, <br /> children and families. Specifically, support funding for a pilot program to provide grants <br /> to smaller Oregon communities to initiate or expand such programs. <br /> <br />E. HOMELESS YOUTH <br /> <br /> The number of homeless youth has increased in our community and throughout the State. These <br /> youth are often the victims of adult criminal behavior. It is widely recognized that this is a <br /> growing problem, especially in the cities of Eugene and Portland. Other than affordable housing <br /> proposals, however, there have been no specific proposals to address the homeless youth issue. <br /> <br /> Recommendation: <br /> <br /> 1. Encourage legislative proposals that attempt to resolve the homeless youth issue. <br /> <br />City of Eugene Legislative Policies, 2005 Session 40 <br /> <br /> <br />
