District 1 and 2 Candidate Responses received by Homeless Solutions Coalition in advance of forum here below:
PRIOR POST:
Learn about the diverse positions on homelessness taken by candidates at the “Multnomah County Commissioner Candidate Forum on Homelessness” conducted via Zoom on October 3 from 4-5:30 PM. The forum will be moderated by KATU Political Director Ken Boddie.
The Forum will feature 2 candidates each for District 1 and District 2 races which will determine homeless policy and how hundreds of millions of homeless dollars will be spent over the next two or more years. Portlanders often look to the Mayor and City Council for answers to what they consistently see as the number 1 problem facing Portland—unsheltered homelessness. But it is Multnomah County Commissioners who will be making the vast majority of those important decisions. Shockingly, many Portlanders don’t even know who is running for these two important races!
This Zoom event will be hosted by the District 4 Coalition of Neighborhood Associations, in conjunction with the newly formed Homeless Solutions Coalition, which is made up of 17 neighborhood, business and nonprofit organizations who have joined together to find solutions to Portland’s most pressing challenge.
Please consider joining this event on October 3. Register today and get involved in what might be the most important election Portlanders will be voting on in November!
