(Portland, OR) -- A new overnight shelter in the Pearl District is raising concerns among business owners worried about crime and customer safety. One nearby restaurant owner says break-ins tied to homeless individuals have already cost more than 150-thousand dollars in damages. City officials argue the shelter will ultimately reduce crime and help people get back on track, noting similar results in other neighborhoods. The Northrup Shelter currently houses 40 people with plans to expand to 200, while a nearby day center is still working to add promised services like showers and charging stations.
