Portland and Multnomah County leaders announced the opening of 200 new winter emergency shelter beds to provide relief to the homeless as temperatures drop.
The decision comes from collaborative efforts between Multnomah County Chair Vega Pederson, outgoing Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, and incoming Mayor-elect Keith Wilson.
Mayor-elect Keith Wilson emphasized his commitment to tackling unsheltered homelessness through the creation of new overnight shelters, a key part of his campaign.
The announcement showcases a unified approach among local leaders to address homelessness as winter weather poses additional challenges for individuals living on the streets.
