"As the region’s main agency addressing homelessness, how much input was JOHS given in the city’s recent plan to ban homeless camping and create camps?" "Zero. We had zero conversations with the city of Portland about this plan before it was announced." portlandmercury.com/Housing/…

Exit Interview With Outgoing JOHS Director Shannon Singleton

Singleton addresses the inner workings of the region's largest homelessness agency and the public's misgivings about its output.

Molly Hogan of @WelcomeHomeOrg dropping the truth! It costs $51k a year to JUST jail someone (if they don’t go to these camps)… and $20k less to put someone in a private market housing with services for that same year. That $51k doesn’t even count sweeps costs, cleanup, etc.

Metro staff toured Rockwood Village, the first 2018 affordable housing bond project to open. The team stands before the first completed residential building which opened to new tenants at the end of August.
A group of six people stand side-by-side in front of a new building. They're all wearing masks. A couple are holding hard hats and wearing high visibility safety vests. More new buildings are visible behind them. “It was exciting and fulfilling to get to actually see and feel this community taking shape, after so much behind the scenes work,” says Choya Renata (third from left), Metro’s community engagement specialist for housing.
