Clackamas Stops Purchase Of Transition Hotel

(Oregon City, OR) -- The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners is changing direction for how it deals with homelessness. Instead of buying a hotel that would be used for transitional housing they'll study homelessness. County Board Chair Tootie Smith reversed her vote that would have approved the purchase of a Quality Inn under Project Turnkey. Smith wants to hold summits to study homelessness solutions and convene a Blue Ribbon Committee to consider those solutions. She also wants voters to decide whether Measure 110, that reduced penalties for possession of small amounts of illegal drugs, should be overturned.
