  21. How are People Impacted by Changing Demographics? “As gentrification has happened, poverty has moved out here. Some services have moved, but they are not moving out here as fast as the people. Look what gentrification has done to community cohesion.”(Participant in discussion group following screening of Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick”, May 2008) “So what happens? I live out in Gresham, but I work over here and my church is over here (Northeast Portland), and my mom lives out here. It becomes more and more difficult for me to really get to the resources that I feel comfortable with.” (Participant of Healthy Birth Initiative’s focused group discussions with housing and employment professionals, August 2008) Changing Demographics in Multnomah County
