The Portland City Council will consider ending its agreement with Multnomah County to support the Joint Office on Homeless Services, highlighting a fundamental shift in homelessness policy.
The ordinance to terminate the Homelessness Response System Intergovernmental Agreement underscores a growing tension over the management of homelessness in Portland.
Commissioners Rene Gonzalez, Mingus Mapps, and Dan Ryan initiated the resolution, indicating that a majority of the council is aligned on this contentious issue.
Despite the majority support, the resolution cannot be enacted until after new council members take over in January, potentially allowing for a reversal.
