Cameron Herrington Awarded Second Annual Ed Sullivan Housing Advocate Award

Jean
May 1, 2017

At HLA’s Nov. 4, 2016 conference, the board presented Cameron Herrington, Antidisplacement Coordinator for Living Cully, with the second annual Ed Sullivan Housing Advocate Award. The award is named for Edward Sullivan, lifelong housing advocate, co-founder of HLA and former legal counsel to the Governor of Oregon. Cameron Herrington exemplifies Mr. Sullivan’s deep commitment to thoughtful land use planning and access to adequate and affordable housing. Through his work with Living Cully, he helped lead Anti-Displacement PDX, a coalition of more than 40 community organizations that successfully advocated for the inclusion of two dozen measures that address gentrification and displacement in Portland’s Comprehensive Plan update. In addition, he leads the Cully Housing Action Team, a grassroots committee that gathers regularly to learn about and advocate for policies that address the housing needs of residents in the Cully neighborhood. Cameron has also played a pivotal role in organizing residents of the Oak Leaf Mobile Home Park, who successfully advocated for City of Portland funding that allowed them to cooperatively purchase the park and prevented it from redevelopment and the associated displacement of some of Portland’s lowest income residents. We applaud all of Cameron’s efforts and congratulate him on the award.
