Supportive Housing Spending On Target

(Portland, OR)  --  Multnomah County is on track to meet its goal for spending Supportive House Services money.  This fiscal year, they've spent 91 million dollars which is 53 percent of the 170-million-dollar budget.  That's more than they spent in the entire previous fiscal year.  The money is used for shelter, outreach, permanent supportive housing and short-term housing assistance.  The program got off to a slow start the first two years because of workforce challenges in the homeless services sector, but those issues are improving.
