In May 2020, Metro voters passed the Supportive Housing Services measure — Measure 26-210. The measure will raise money for supportive housing services for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Clackamas County will receive 21.33% of the total revenue generated.
Each county developed their own Local Implementation Plan detailing how they are utilizing the raised funds to tackle chronic homelessness. Clackamas County’s plan identifies and outlines unmet needs and investment priorities for rental assistance and supportive services. The program prioritizes Communities of Color, and 75% of funds are prioritized for extremely low-income households with at least one disabling condition that are experiencing or at imminent risk of experiencing long-term literal homelessness.
