Portland To Consider Increasing Funds For Homeless

(Portland, OR)  --  The Portland City Council is slated tomorrow to consider an increase in funding for services for the homeless.  The proposal is to raise spending to five-million dollars for the current fiscal year, which ends on June 30th.  That will more than double funding for homeless services under the Housing State of Emergency the Council declared last October.  The "Portland Tribune" reports the additional funds will come from a recent legal settlement between the city and online travel companies over the collection of hotel and motel taxes.
