Description

“Having a place for our community members who are struggling with addiction is critical, and I am eager for the County to keep the urgency and forward-momentum on this project as one of our biggest priorities,” county Chair Jessica Vega Pederson wrote in an email this week to board members.

Multnomah County’s chair alerted commissioners this week that she has directed county staff to move forward to find a building for a future sobering center while also working by Sept. 1 to open a separate deflection center to divert drug users from the criminal justice system under the recent rollback of Measure 110, the drug decriminalization law.
