The Burnside Community Council was founded in 1972 in Portland, Oregon, to provide services to people experiencing homelessness in Portland. It operated three shelters: Baloney Joe's; the West Women's Hotel and Emergency Shelter (later called the West Women's and Children's Shelter); and Ma's Community Inn. Baloney Joe's was established in 1978 by Michael Stoops (1950-2017), who had come to Portland in 1976 and became a leading member of the council's board. The council also ran a job placement program and a medical clinic. Starting in 1981, it ran the annual Hobo Parade (later renamed Parade for the Homeless) to bring awareness to the issue of homelessness in Portland.

In November 1987, the newspaper Willamette Week published an article reporting allegations that Stoops had had sex with boys under 18 who were served by Baloney Joe's. Stoops denied any wrongdoing; three months later, he resigned from the council and left Portland. Facing financial difficulties, the council transferred management of its shelters to the Salvation Army in 1990 and subsequently dissolved.

Burnside Community Council records, Mss, 6038, Oregon Historical Society Research Library.

Collection was initially rehoused in archival folders before 2011, most likely in the early 1990s. Additions from Lib. Acc. 26796 were processed circa 2009. Entire collection, including additions donated in 2018, was processed and arranged by Jeffrey Hayes in 2025. Processing included rehousing papers into new folders. During processing, documents showing Social Security numbers were either redacted or marked for restriction.

Additional issues of Hobo News and These Homeless Times are also held in the periodicals collection, Oregon Historical Society Research Library.

The collection consists of the records of the Burnside Community Council, an aid and advocacy group for unhoused and low-income people in Portland, Oregon. The records represented in the collection fall into three main groups: administrative records, which are the largest group and include papers of BCC staff members; records relating to events, fundraising efforts and grants; and records relating to properties that the council owned or operated, including the Baloney Joe's shelter, the West Women's Hotel and Emergency Shelter (later the West Women's and Children's Shelter), and the Eastside Community Clinic. Staff members represented in the collection include leading figure Michael Stoops, executive director Richard Meyer, Cindy Banzer, Michael Kaplan, Beverly "Ma" Curtis, Gene Ediger, Sue Elwood, and one-time Eastside Community Clinic director Neal Rendleman. The collection also includes newsletters that the council produced, including BCC Pipeline, Hobo News, and These Homeless Times; photographs; press releases; clippings; and public service announcements in audio and video form.

The collection also includes records of other organizations, including the United Way of Columbia-Willamette, of which BCC was an agency; and the Junior League of Portland, which undertook a grant project for the West Women's and Children's Shelter.

A commemorative brick and a racing baton were transferred to the Oregon Historical Society Museum Collections.

Materials from Lib. Acc. 26796 and Lib. Acc. 29280 that post-date the Burnside Community Council's dissolution or were unrelated to the council were processed as the Chuck Currie papers, Coll 1090.
