Resources for Homeless
Portland City Commissioner Dan Ryan unveiled plans on Friday to create six controlled villages to house city residents who do not have permanent housing, possibly in tents, sleeping pods, or automobiles.
Construction on the locations is expected to start in August and September, with the towns set to open by the end of the year thanks to federal relief funds. Case management, showers, restrooms, and laundry services will be available at the sites, according to Ryan
COVID limits will be eased in the coming year, bringing the total number of shelter beds in the Portland area to 1,970, up from 1,475. However, at least 1,500 people would remain on the streets.
In the Portland metro area, more than 4,000 people are homeless.
