Metro sets goals and progress measures for regional homeless services
Metro adopted final goals and measures for its Supportive Housing Services program, the regional tax-funded homeless services program run with Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. The goals include shortening how long people are homeless, speeding up housing placements, and having 85% or more of people placed in housing stay housed at 12 and 24 months. It also tracks things like shelter use, street outreach results, evictions, rents and state and federal funding, with a regional dashboard updated every three months.
Decision: Passed, 4 to 1. Mary Nolan voted no; Duncan Hwang and Miles Palacios were absent.
Who it affects: People experiencing or at risk of homelessness in the three-county region, and the agencies and workers who serve them.
Next: Metro will share updated details for the street outreach and staff turnover measures after more staff work with the counties. The next staff survey is planned for summer 2027.
