context_page_description: Right 2 Dream Too is a "self-managed" homeless encampment in Portland, Oregon incorporated as a nonprofit organization. In its beginning, it has setup an unauthorized transient camp on private property in October, 2011 in Old Town Chinatown at Northwest 4th Avenue and West Burnside Street near downtown, Portland. It had permission from the property owner, but it was not authorized by the city. The encampment operates under its parent company Right 2 Survive. Its operation erected tents and built a fence without necessary permits and it was assessed fines for doing so. In April 2017, the city agreed to allow its organized transient camp to move to a land owned by the Portland Bureau of Transportation and stay for up to two years. Its camp remained at the original location for over five years before moving to a temporary site in North Portland on N Thunderbird Way in July 2017. It was reported in August 2020 that the lease at this site has been extended until April 2021.
context_section_description: Code of conduct reads drug and weapon free zone as cited by Oregon Public Broadcasting in February 2016. There is a general area and a member area. Full time lodging and tiny homes are for member benefit only. Membership is restricted and it is subject to several rounds of approval process by existing members. Non-members sleep on the floor and are restricted to 12 hours per 24 hour period, as of June 2017.
  The camp is self managed and has a 24-hour security desk staffed by camp residents at its entrance. While monetary contribution is not required of occupants, contribution towards the operation of the encampment is expected. 
  Portland Tribune reported in August 2020 that about 100 people utilize the encampment every 24 hours, but R2D2 does not collect or maintain any information on the overnight guests.
