The city of Portland will begin enforcing a ban on homeless camps on July 1, according to Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office.

“Since the revised camping ordinance was unanimously approved by City Council on May 8, 2024, the city has engaged in an education campaign to inform the community of these changes,” said a spokesperson for the mayor’s office.
