"The Portland Housing Bureau has found additional millions in its coffers, adding to the $21 million in unspent funding disclosed late last year. It is unclear exactly how much money is in the fund, but Council President Jamie Dunphy told the Mercury Monday that it is expected to be in the millions. The newly uncovered dollars will impact two pieces of legislation the City Council is considering this week."
"One resolution on Wednesday's agenda would require the release of public records and open an investigation related to the hidden funds. On Thursday, the Council will consider how to prioritize the previous $21 million, including funding rent assistance and a cash-strapped Prosper Portland housing project. The new money could help notch a win for the mayor and all 12 city councilors. Find out more in Jeremiah Hayden's story here."

The Portland Housing Bureau discovered additional millions in unspent funds beyond a disclosed $21 million; the exact amount remains unclear. The new funds will affect two City Council items: a resolution to release records and investigate the hidden funds, and a decision on prioritizing the $21 million for rent assistance and a Prosper Portland project. Court documents expose holes in the federal account of a CBP shooting; DHS linked the victims to Tren de Aragua, but court records contradict that portrayal.
