I moved to Hosford-Abernethy in 2024 without knowing anything about the neighborhood except that it really spoke to me and felt like home. After two years learning more about Hosford-Abernethy, I wanted to be more involved with creating a neighborhood that provides for us all. I am passionate about creating welcoming, accessible, safe spaces for residents, pedestrians, and cyclists in our neighborhood.

Peggy McDaniel has served on the Clinton Triangle Oversight Committee since the shelter opened, working with neighborhood representatives, the City, and service providers to help ensure accountability and positive outcomes for the shelter site and its provider, Urban Alchemy. 

Professionally, Peggy is a registered nurse, has held leadership roles in healthcare, patient safety, and clinical innovation. She continues to work as a consultant and educator. She is passionate about evidence-based decision-making, strong neighborhoods, and finding practical, compassionate solutions to Portland’s most challenging issues. Peggy enjoys contributing her expertise to help strengthen the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood. She loves old houses, big trees, art, coffee, haiku, and meeting her neighbors.

I’m Avery Berchek. I rent a spot near Ladd’s Addition with my pup, and I’m happy to call this neighborhood home. I look forward to working with our neighborhood association and our community to help this place thrive

I’m part of that 1970’s wave of “young and restless creatives” who headed to Oregon for its natural beauty and quality of life, with new college degrees and no job prospects. My work/volunteer focus has been on community-based health promotion and community development with a special emphasis on neighborhoods here in Portland.
