A Grand Opening Celebration of the Nick Fish Housing Community
Wednesday | May 25, 2022 | 3:30–5:30 PM | Gateway Discovery Park
About This Event
Come one, come all – we at Human Solutions look forward to connecting with residents of The Nick Fish housing community, residential and business neighbors, our nonprofit partners, friends and family of Nick Fish, and project sponsors. All are welcome!
What: We’ll celebrate this wonderful new development on the park, say a warm hello to our new community, and enjoy our shared company with presentations and fun activities.
When: Wednesday, May 25, 2022 from 3:30 to 5:30 PM (official program from 4 to 4:30; tours start at 4:30)
Where: Outdoors in Gateway Discovery Park (east side of park), 10520 NE Halsey Street, Portland
Tribute to Nick Fish: Human Solutions will honor the late City of Portland commissioner Nick Fish and his impactful dedication to affordable housing and green-space access in East Portland. Patricia Schechter, Nick Fish’s wife, will share a few words, and Sabina Haque, local artist and East Portland historian, will share an art installation that pays tribute to Nick Fish and honors the site’s history.
Tours: We’ll offer tours of our new office space and the public areas of The Nick Fish apartment community. If an apartment is vacant, we’ll take a look. Masks will be required for this indoor portion of the event, and KN95s will be on hand for anyone who needs one (read the latest recommendation for mask-wearing indoors).
Unveiling: We’ll give attendees the first look at our new brand and chat about what it means for the next phase of our organization.
Accessibility: Fingers Crossed Interpreting will provide ASL interpretation for the speaker event and for the first tour. The tour will require people to move a short distance on level ground between two adjacent buildings and walk up at least one flight of stairs or use an elevator.
