Rural Placemaking Toolkit Launched: The U.S. Department of Agriculture has launched the Rural Placemaking Toolkit, an online resource that highlights placemaking activities, including how to hold creative community conversations, community and cultural assessments, and where to find technical and financial assistance for placemaking projects.

LOC Releases New Guide on Persons Experiencing Homelessness in Public Spaces
As the homelessness crisis intensifies, and the legal parameters around how a city manages its public property contract, cities need guidance on how they can regulate their property in a way that respects each of its community members, complies with all legal principles, and protects its public investments.  A collective of municipal attorneys from across the state of Oregon convened a work group to create the LOC's Guide to Persons Experiencing Homelessness in Public Spaces<https://www.orcities.org/download_file/view/2308/1357>, which is intended to do two things: (1) explain the legal principles involved in regulating public property in light of recent court decisions and statutory enactments; and (2) provide a checklist of issues/questions cities should review before enacting or amending any ordinances that may impact how their public property is managed.
This new guide is one small piece of the puzzle cities should consider when addressing the homelessness crisis in their community.  The LOC has created a Homeless Solutions webpage<https://www.orcities.org/resources/reference/homeless-solutions> that contains other pieces of the puzzle community leaders may wish to review.
