Description

S. Jackson swings his son at a park in the Parkrose neighborhood Friday. Jackson was finally able to sign a lease on an apartment here with the help of free legal services, funded by Multnomah County, that cleared his criminal record.

A Multnomah County program that helped 293 clients clear their records of past misdemeanors and a handful of felonies last year – paving the way for better access to housing and jobs – is slated to be cut.
