541 neighbors experiencing homelessness in Multnomah County to better understand their daily challenges and housing goals. By centering these voices, we are better equipped to refine our decision-making and advocate for the permanent housing solutions our community is asking for.
Data is essential. Lived experience is foundational. How do we ensure our systems truly meet the needs of those they serve? By keeping community voices at the center of our work.
🏀 Our March 2026 Newsletter is live! We’re sharing a transparent look at our FY 2027 budget, celebrating service expansion at Bradley Angle, and a powerful story of resilience from our partners at SACOO. 📖 Link in bio to read! #pdx #multco #housingjustice

This article shines a light on the 'invisible' wins that have completely modernized the way we show up for people in our community. oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…
In Multnomah County, we’ve used regional funding to help thousands of people move into permanent homes and to grow our shelter network. As we deal with some tough budget shifts ahead, it’s worth taking a second to look at just how much has been built.
While these hurdles aren't unique to HSD or even our County, we are working hard to be proactive and clear about our budget landscape. See the data and the full briefing here: multnomah.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php…
Across the region, local governments are facing significant funding gaps — and Multnomah County is navigating those same headwinds. On Tuesday we updated the Board of Commissioners on the specific challenges facing our budget for the next fiscal year.
This new report analyzes the cost and effectiveness of adult shelters, and offers a policy recommendation for rebalancing the shelter system to prioritize housing placement out of shelter. Read the article below: oregonlive.com/politics/2026/…
Thank you to Sunstone Way, Transition Projects and Our Just Future for joining HSD earlier this week during our presentation on the Adult Shelter Report.
Since opening its doors in late 2024, the Kathleen Saadat Apartments have provided 75 homes with wraparound services to people who recently experienced chronic homelessness — made possible thanks to the Oregon Metro SHS measure. Full Story: hsd.multco.us/story/ricky-an…
Jayson, who lives with cerebral palsy, was experiencing homelessness for years. But now, he’s in a stable home with supportive services that are helping him thrive, thanks to a Multnomah County program funded by the @oregonmetro SHS Measure. Full Story: hsd.multco.us/story/jayson
