Multnomah County Revises Homeless Plan

(Portland, OR) -- The Portland area has a new goal for the plan to address homelessness. Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson says by 2025 they will have half of the homeless population, that's 27-hundred people, in shelters or stable housing. They will add a thousand shelter beds, hundreds of behavioral health beds and a drop-in sobering center. Their goal is to keep 75-percent of people who move into stable housing there for at least two years.
