Portland surpassed 1,500 emergency shelter beds, the fastest expansion in recent U.S. history, but now prioritizes permanent housing.
Portland has exceeded its goal of 1,500 emergency shelter beds, reaching 1,566, through rapid collaboration among city agencies, regional partners, and service providers.
The expansion, the fastest among major U.S. cities in recent years, includes stable and flexible units that adjust nightly based on demand.
Mayor Keith Wilson emphasized that while shelter saves lives in winter, the focus now must shift to increasing permanent housing.
Officials stress ongoing access and reliability over bed numbers, with plans to scale back as people move into stable housing.
