Portland Mayor Keith Wilson is asking neighboring Washington and Clackamas counties for a combined $10 million to help cover a $15 million shortfall in funding for homeless shelters across the city. The request aims to keep several key shelters and services operating, with the argument that homelessness is a regional issue affecting people across county lines. However, leaders and service providers in surrounding counties are pushing back, saying their own resources are already stretched and funding Portland could take away from local needs. The proposal is now under review, sparking debate over how responsibility for addressing homelessness should be shared across the metro area.
