Metro's Supportive Housing Levy: A Mixed Bag
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Metros Supportive Housing Services levy forecast shows a 8% increase to $351 million, but a one-time $40 million boost from late business tax payments skews the results. Without this extra cash, collections would remain flat due to a weak local economy, particularly in Multnomah County. Economists note Multnomahs lag behind neighbors, blaming high taxes and poor services for a doughnut hole effect. This slowdown impacts homeless services, as Multnomah County already faced a shortfall earlier this year. The regional job market trails national growth, with Multnomah still below pre-pandemic levels, potentially leading to service cuts if revenues dont meet needs and inflation. Checkout Solipillow.com
