Ongoing Project
Entrepreneurship 101:
Division Midway Alliance has been conducting entrepreneurship sessions in Spanish, Burmese, and Korean. The goal of the program is to Educate, Empower, and Emerge. Participants learned about licensing, permit, and legal structures for starting a business. The speaker for this event was Julieanna Elegant, ED - Small Business Legal Clinic, Lewis and Clark College. Our goal for this culturally specific training program is to deliver information in a way that can be easily understood and accessed by the participants.
UPCOMING PROJECT BY DMA & PBOT
Neighborhood Biking/Walking Map
Division Midway Alliance teamed up with the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) to support our community by creating a map that shows the best places to walk and bike to the key destinations in our neighborhoods. Schools, parks, shopping destinations, and community organizations are show on the map with their connections to lower traffic and streets with sidewalks and better intersection crossings. The 130s Greenway is the newest improvement that we hope you will enjoy with its after crossings and features that make it safer for people walking and biking. With the help of DMA Community Liaisons we were able to translate these maps into these languages: Arabic, Karen, Burmese, Nepali, & Spanish.
Please take care of your neighbors by following the COVID-19 Safety Guidelines:
1) Stay 6 feet apart
2) Wear a Mask
3) Stay home if you feel unwell

PBOT'S GOALS FOR SAFER STREETS
In a recent survey conducted by PBOT, nine out of 10 Portlanders cited these three issues as top priorities.
Given these concerns, we think you will be pleased with Moving to Our Future, the strategic plan that will guide our work at the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) for the next three years. It’s built around three core goals:
- SAFETY: Make Portland streets safe for everyone
- MOVING PEOPLE AND GOODS: Provide transportation options for a growing city
- ASSET MANAGEMENT: Deliver smart investments to maintain our transportation system

The supplies includes: Face Masks, Gloves, Hand sanitizer, Laundry Soap, Paper Towels, Shampoo, Disposable Razor, Bar Soap, Tissue and much more supplies. DMA was able to distribute these items that worth $5,600 in two days. DMA will continue to distribute supplies to other communities once it's been received.
