Community Opportunities and Enhancements Program

The Community Opportunities and Enhancements Program (COEP) is a City of Portland strategy to increase access to the trades and to remove barriers for construction firms so that they can successfully participate in public contracting. The program is funded by a 1% set-aside of eligible costs on all City-owned public improvement contracts. Through a series of grants, the COEP provides workforce development and business technical assistance to accomplish its goals.
