Across Oregon, evictions rates are higher than pre-pandemic levels.
Evictions can be caused by medical debt, job loss, rent increases and other economic hardships.
Lapsing rental protections mean significant increases in folks experiencing homelessness:

"We’ve definitely seen a spike in termination notices, especially non-payment termination notices since, not only the eviction moratorium ended, but we had Safe Harbor protection laws that ended last summer,” CAT Education specialist Brenden De Lancey

Mayor Beaty shared the average person using Safe Parking in Beaverton is a 70 year old woman.
"Let that sink in. That could be your mother, or your grandmother."
Homelessness is a regional issue that requires regional solutions. #SolvingHomelessnessTogether @cpahoregon

"All the root causes [of homelessness] are still there. Still have increasing rents, flat wages, inflation, racism. We have much much bigger work if we want to have impact on this issue." Patricia Rojas @oregonmetro.

What gives you hope?
"People who are w/o housing continue to live their lives. They show up every day and ask for help. I can't imagine the circumstances so many live in... there is humanity out there." @DrMarisaZapata1 #SolvingHomelessnessTogether

The voter backed Supportive Housing Services measure gives Michael Liu of @Fubonn hope: “There’s a better path forward. I hope we become the model that all other regions look at.” #SolvingHomelessnessTogether

What gives you hope? “Being able to do the work we do with the partners we have. Nonprofit, city, jurisdictional partners. Working to build the community we want to see. Working from the value of everyone deserves a home.” Patricia Rojas #SolvingHomelessnessTogether

Why does homelessness look so much worse in PDX?
Patricia Rojas: "Rents went up 14% this year. Root causes of homelessness continue. The reality is that so long as we have folks entering homelessness, we're going to continue seeing this problem."

"For everyone who enters housing, 2-3 more enter homelessness bc of the cost of housing. We need to help people stay housed to begin with." Patricia Rojas of @oregonmetro

"When we try to do things like "solve homelessness" we forget to take meaningful first steps. We have to take small steps to solve this issue." Beaverton Mayor Beaty

There are a range of solutions needed for the folks experiencing homelessness. "We need to be able to meet people where they are at, recognize their individual experience."
