Highlights from the latest report include: 1,635 homes available to households with incomes at or below 30% of the area median income, 747 that are permanent supportive housing for households that have experienced homelessness and have at least one disability and 1,052 that come with rent assistance.

In May 2020, voters in greater Portland approved a measure that will raise money for supportive housing services for people experiencing or at risk of experiencing houselessness. Now in its fourth year, the supportive housing services fund has helped thousands of households across the region avoid homelessness, find and keep a new home, access employment services and more.

Desde hace más de una década, las comunidades del área metropolitana de Portland han enfrentado una crisis regional de acceso a la vivienda que empeora cada año. Los precios de alquiler han aumentado drásticamente, mucho más rápido que los ingresos, dejando fuera del mercado a personas afroamericanas, indígenas y de otras comunidades de color, inmigrantes, adultos mayores, veteranos, personas con discapacidades y otros inquilinos de bajos ingresos. Cada vez más personas necesitan viviendas asequibles, pero la oferta no alcanza para cubrir la demanda.

Frente a este desafío, los responsables de las políticas en el área metropolitana de Portland reconocieron que la mejor forma de abordar la crisis sería con una respuesta regional. Por ello, en 2018, Metro se asoció con las ciudades y condados locales para solicitar el apoyo de los votantes en la creación de nuevas viviendas asequibles en la región. El bono que fue aprobado por los votantes genera $652.8 millones y está en camino de crear aproximadamente 5.600 hogares asequibles, 1.700 más que el objetivo inicial. Estas viviendas incluyen desde apartamentos tipo estudio hasta casas de cuatro dormitorios, para satisfacer una variedad de necesidades familiares.

Hoy en día, Metro colabora con las ciudades y condados locales para financiar y crear nuevas viviendas asequibles, así como para brindar servicios de apoyo a la vivienda. Cuando las personas tienen diversas opciones de vivienda realmente asequibles en cada vecindario de la región, todos se benefician.
