The Multnomah County Commission voted unanimously Thursday to direct $28 million in excess funds toward an array of rental assistance programs, dodging a request from Mayor Ted Wheeler’s office to spend some of those dollars on the city’s mass homeless encampment plan. Due to an unpredicted influx in revenue collected through the regional homeless services tax in the past fiscal year, the county has more than $28 million in one-time funds available to spend on.
As Multnomah County Board of Commissioners Chair Deborah Kafoury is termed out, three current commissioners are running to serve as the next chief executive officer for the county. They are joined in the race by employment discrimination lawyer Sharia Mayfield, truck driver Joe Demers and talk show host Bruce Broussard.
