Metro is working to create thriving communities throughout the region where everyone has access to a safe, stable and affordable home.
Metro’s Housing Department oversees two regional initiatives that voters across greater Portland passed to address the housing and homelessness crisis. The 2018 affordable housing bond and the 2020 supportive housing services fund work together to provide homes for households with low incomes, along with programs and services to prevent or end episodes of homelessness.
To date, Metro has leveraged these initiatives to deliver more than 5,100 new affordable homes across the region, create or sustain 2,500 shelter beds and move more than 7,200 households into housing.
Collaborating closely with partners in local and state government, Metro is bringing together people, policy and resources to create equitable housing and homelessness solutions for our region.
