Mayor Wheeler Proposes $27 Million For Camps

(Portland, OR) -- Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is proposing a 27-million-dollar start to his proposed homeless camps. The money would fund site assessment, a 50-person team to connect homeless people with services, money to build and operate six camps, and security for surrounding neighborhoods and businesses. The money will be considered by City Council when it approves fall budget changes. Wheeler wants to build the camps and ban unsanctioned homeless camping.
