Description

Raymond Wilson, 52, stands for a photo in front of his pod in the sober section of the Reedway Safe Rest Village in Southeast Portland in 2025. Under Mayor Keith Wilson's proposed budget, the site would close and its sleeping pods would move to the North Portland Road shelter.

Portland could close nearly 450 permanent sleeping spots for homeless people, or about a quarter of its pod shelters, overnight-only beds and RV safe parking spots, according to a staff presentation delivered at a City Council budget meeting Tuesday.
