Kind of reminds me of when I first moved to California. I was listening to a Bay area radio station congratulating the politicians for their wonderful work helping the homeless. That wonderful thing wasn't assisting them in getting off the street or helping them with their addiction, it was for providing shopping carts.
Yep and I bet you it’s the county embezzling it. They are basically buying their homeless people tents and sending them to the city to keep them out of their cities. So I think this is perfect. It will force them to acknowledge their homeless problem. Why should the city take all the responsibility for all the county homeless. They are definitely misappropriating funds somewhere to improve the outlying cities. No doubt about it.
I support the city council’s decision. Without outcome data, and consequences to behavior, no change will occur. It’s not rocket science, it’s behavioral science. The county administration is neglectful in implementing realistic solutions.
The fact that housing is too expensive doesn't help. Add in the fact that Oregon is 140,000 places short for housing. I share a two bedroom apartment in NE Portland, my half of rent 743.00 a month. Almost 1/2 of my income. Plus, I live 2 blocks from a drug and alcohol recovery center. I see drugs and homeless daily.
Lies we all see what the county means by they have lots of progress and not there yet statements. It mean inaction a shoulder shrug to the community if you will. People are fed up with the county getting money they just sit on while people suffer. You want action then find out why inspectors and permit handlers are having so much trouble getting things together which they love to use as answer to why nothing is being built, even a discussion on the mental health portion to find out which one needs to step up for the mental health and addiction patients being passed around each of the three branches of the health department. Any of these things would be better then sit and wait approach they did take. Good for the council seeing this and addressing the elephant in the room.
It's not lies open your eyes for yourself! The city has gotten a lot better and more people have gotten off of the streets and into stable situations + into treatment. A national crisis isn't going to be solved by doing sweeps alone and gutting the coordination between the city and county would reverse all of the progress made
@@somethingaboutQwerty I have opened my eyes and quite frankly at this point seeing my home town turn into the dumpster fire it has become breaks my heart. housing a few while seeing a constant majority of the homeless population go for years without homes is a failure period. people always passing the buck and saying not my job is the grossest thing I have ever seen. Clearly there needs to be an understanding city and county otherwise why pay them for a participation trophy effort.
@@somethingaboutQwerty the county is using the money to give them tents and send them into the city. Then they claim they don’t have homeless and use the rest for things to make their communities better. Let them deal with their homeless all by themselves now.
@@michaelpond6386 they actually do because they are supplying the people with tents and sending them into Portland to live. You’ll soon find out cause the homeless will start popping up in the county now because they don’t have the funds to buss them to Portland with tents.
Making affordable housing and offering services for people given 30 million every year sounds like a plausible idea, this is sad to see that the city of Portland doesn't want to work with Multnomah county, they are asking for an influx in homelessness and more people to stay on the street. People need lot's and lot's of support to get them into affordable housing, job security, and out of their situations. So after a public outcry of helping support people who are on the street/and those on the brink of homelessness, the city is turning their back on everything again. So Portland will do what LA and NY are doing, build monuments on the street's/rocks/boulders and arrests. This is sad that these are the methods our leaders are resolving to.
We didn’t ask them to provide housing for people. We just asked them to get them off the street and maybe move them along to somewhere better like Washington DC.
With all the land on the outskirts of town , why dont they just give them some and a couple outhouses and have a free for all. No intown sleeping in tents, cars sidewalks or rvs.
I think the city should stop funding all homeless services and appeal to the federal government and FEMA. The city can not handle the burden of solving a national issue.
I wholeheartedly disagree. While progress has been slow, more and more people are getting off of the streets each day. More people are getting into treatment. I work with the people on the streets every night and I'm here to say things are getting a lot better. There's still work to do, I'll be the first to admit this, but "divorcing" from the county on this issue would be a disaster for all parties involved.
I wholeheartedly agree. This is a national issue and local tax payers are being forced to pay for it. This is for FEMA and the Feds to address nationwide.
One of these groups is acting in bad faith with a backdoor intention to support chaos. Who is taking directions from elites and political establishment, and who is actually working for The People?
😮 wow, shocked. I'd like to know more about this tent issue of money going out to buy tents for homeless people, and then money going to sweep up to take away the tents from people. I see both sides of this issue of not having anywhere to go, but then it not being legal to exist. So to hear that there's a discrepancy between organizations even around something as basic tents-which IS shelter… I mean that's crazy. One thought I had was to bump everybody up a notch; supposedly we have enough vacant homes to fit everyone. Of course, foreclosure aside, it seems like in a perfect world people that are living in HUD could get bumped up to section 8, section 8 can get bumped up into homes … People living on the street could get bumped up to HUD. Oh sorry that sounds like socialism…

Multnomah County handing out tens of thousands of tents is a scandal for the ages. Lunacy.
Kind of reminds me of when I first moved to California. I was listening to a Bay area radio station congratulating the politicians for their wonderful work helping the homeless. That wonderful thing wasn't assisting them in getting off the street or helping them with their addiction, it was for providing shopping carts.
Who was giving out the foil and straws a while back. Also madness.
The money was used correctly before it's just people came here and abused it grant. So stfu mf
You don't even know the half of it. Even the people who live here are abusing just as much and I bet you could care less about humans.
Where's all the money????
Stolen. Why do you think so many homely white people with glasses and 77 iqs have 100 k jobs? Its a racket
So much money laundering going on.

Thanks for being one of the people here whos not a simp or drone . Yeah quite a scam but yet not much or any ground gained .
Jail until sober.

There's no money to be made in solving homelessness so don't expect anything to really be accomplished.
We will never solve homelessness,it's far more complex.But these non-profits sure do make money.
Do you all know Hospitals can run as a nonprofit organization? Make sense of that?
Multnomah is a homeless paradise.
The county is hoarding the money, time to start over.
Portland needs to do their job and quit passing the buck. "Portland the city that sucks" put that on your vehicles
I support the city council’s decision. Without outcome data, and consequences to behavior, no change will occur. It’s not rocket science, it’s behavioral science. The county administration is neglectful in implementing realistic solutions.
When the county leadership is so bad it makes the city leadership look good ... at that point it might be time to rip up the agreement and start over.
Maybe give out some job applications instead of tents…
Or at least community service in exchange for govt handouts.
The fact that housing is too expensive doesn't help. Add in the fact that Oregon is 140,000 places short for housing. I share a two bedroom apartment in NE Portland, my half of rent 743.00 a month.

so how's that working out, voting leftists or some variant, and 'also' wanting lower cost housing?
You can 'not' have both, it's one or the other...
Exactly. Keep “stickin it to the landlords, They’ll just pass it on to tenants”. Funny how so many renters still can’t figure that out.
ban the whole effing thing , no camping , no living in rv.s or cars not in the city or the county , make tar and feathers great again
Since SCOTUS ruled exactly so, make it so, Multnomah County

What progress have they made. It seems like more people are homeless and in the way of making this city wonderful once more and not a eye sore.
Why not combine Multnomah and Washington counties with the city of Portland into ONE oppressive and over-reaching government at half price?
Jessica Vega-Pederson needs to go. She is one of the least qualified and incompetent officials we have. GET HER OUT OF OFFICE!
They all suck!
Ya because handing out tents has DEFINITELY made things better over the last several years🙄🙄🙄 DIVORCE THE COUNTY❗️
Portland was originally ceded from Washington County. No County Multnomah, Clackamas,or Washington don’t want that mess.

Clark county is the same way. Their is no way this system that continues to reward the rich by feeding of the poor can continue
OMG. it's predictable at this point. I can predict what they are going to say.
Thank god! I got the worst services in the world at the Portland Rescue Mission.

They want it to go on forever, tents and tarps for free.
Cut all funding send out kicker checks to tax payers
