In May 2020 voters of the greater Portland area took a historic step to address homelessness by approving Measure 26-210 for Supportive Housing Services. Clackamas County receives 21.33% of the total SHS revenue generated and works in partnership with nonprofit and community-based organizations to provide a continuum of services in alignment with the county’s Local Implementation Plan. Five years early, Clackamas County has surpassed the SHS Measure mandate to place 1,065 households in permanent supportive housing and stabilize 2,130 households.
