"Good morning, Portland! Weather report: Light rain. The Mercury's Holiday Drink Week report: Happening. Use the latter as a way to boost your spirits about the former. Find the map of $10 holiday drinks here. On my radar: The spiked spiced eggnog at Clarklewis, Grand Central Bowl's Malibu-peppermint-chocolate extravaganza, and the really special looking whiskey sour at Taylor Street Tavern. Cheers!"
"Portland-area housing authority Home Forward, which helps connect low-income Portlanders to affordable housing with Section 8 housing vouchers, is forced to make cutbacks amid a massive budget shortfall. The organization says it's dealing with a $35 million budget deficit, in part due to federal cuts, which will require layoffs and a pause in issuing new housing vouchers. This problem comes as Portland leaders, particularly Mayor Keith Wilson, have been pushing for more shelters in an attempt to "end unsheltered homelessness.""
Readers are invited to donate or subscribe; Portland reports light rain and a Holiday Drink Week with a $10 holiday drinks map and highlighted seasonal drinks. Portland-area housing authority Home Forward faces a $35 million budget deficit partly caused by federal cuts, prompting layoffs and a pause on issuing new Section 8 vouchers. That shortfall will complicate local efforts to expand shelters and reduce unsheltered homelessness. Separately, the federal government has withheld counterterrorism and emergency planning funds, costing Oregon $18 million previously used for security analysts and bomb detectors and potentially increasing public safety risks.
