Homestead
Neighborhood Association
Together we can build an inclusive and resilient community
This group is intended to encourage community exchange, storytelling, history, city planning, and current events related to the Homestead in South Portland! The board will use it as a communication vehicle and to build connection. We look forward to convening with you online and sharing in the unique heritage that is Homestead.

Neighborhood History
The Homestead neighborhood was a 298-acre homestead claim, purchased in 1857 by Portland pioneer Phillip Marquam, for $2,500.
The steep terrain creates unique residentail, transportation and infrastructure patterns.
THANK YOU OHSU WORKERS!
The Homestead Neighborhood is home to many who are working long hours at the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) to save lives threatened by COVID-19. HNA thanks all the staff for working around the clock under such difficult circumstances! We recognize their service and dedication! We also recognize all hospital employees throughout the city who work tirelessly and we thank them as well!
