Description

Gretchen Kafoury Commons is an apartment complex run by Home Forward, Multnomah County's housing authority. Many residents have help from programs funded by Metro regional homeless services tax dollars before landing here.

A report released Tuesday on how Multnomah County spent its portion of the Metro homeless services tax in fiscal year 2026 showed that, once again, the county sheltered and housed thousands of people even as thousands more lost their housing.
