Description

According to Multnomah County, nearly 3,000 more people are living unsheltered in the county than there were when Mayor Keith Wilson took office. The mayor says that data doesn’t match what he’s seeing, and that disconnect doesn’t help when the city and the county share responsibility for the region’s homeless response. OPB’s Alex Zielinski joins us to talk about her latest story.
