Portland To Open 280 Overnight Shelter Beds
(Portland, OR) -- Another 280 emergency shelter beds will be available in Portland when two new facilities open. They're both located on Grand Avenue near Southeast Washington Street. They will be operated by nonprofits CityTeam Portland and Transition Projects. The beds are designed for people pursing recovery from drugs and alcohol. Guests must be committed to staying clean and sober. Officials hope to have the shelters open before winter. One-thousand-90 shelter beds have been created this year toward Mayor Keith Wilson's goal of 15-hundred beds by December 1st.
