Reporting matters!

Central Eastside Together provides responsive programs that supplement the City of Portland's essential services to our community. Although our teams work hard to solve and report problems, we still need your help. Together we can make a difference - when you see something, say something - by reporting it to the appropriate place.

All reporting for service from the City of Portland can be done directly through PDX Reporter, but the drop-down menu below provides case specific information to assist.
