Multnomah County adds 100 beds at Bybee Lakes to replace closing Downtown Shelter, aiding homeless.

The Downtown Shelter, open since December 2020, will close in March after serving over 950 people, including 468 chronically homeless individuals and 121 veterans. The Bybee Lakes expansion aims to maintain current shelter capacity as part of a joint city and county strategy.
