Multnomah County Updates Homeless Response
(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County has released a report that shows how it's spending money from the Metro Supportive Housing Services measure. More than 23-hundred people were moved off the streets and into housing, which is an increase of 76 percent. It provided nearly 12-hundred behavioral health shelter beds. It created 105 new recovery and stabilization beds. And over 25-hundred people received outreach, legal services, and employment assistance. The county says changes being considered by Metro could result in fewer resources in the future.
