Homelessness Response System

Multnomah County and the City of Portland’s strategic reset of the community’s response to homelessness.

Homelessness Response System

The Homelessness Response System is a reset of the community's response to homelessness. The system is focused on implementing the Homelessness Response Action Plan, a two-year roadmap that commits to pursuing detailed goals and metrics; more transparent budgeting, data sharing and financial reporting; and a new governance structure that broadens and unifies the work of addressing homelessness.

This will be accomplished with a new, shared governance structure overseeing the work, that formalizes collaboration between healthcare partners, community members, the justice system, housing providers, service providers, treatment providers and government partners at all levels.
