Metro OKs county homeless plan; Portland begins collecting tax April 29 2021 The Metro Council voted 6-1 to accept Multnomah County's implementation plan for the Supportive Housing Services tax. Multnomah County has cleared a key hurdle between itself and at least a billion dollars in new tax revenue over the next decade. The Metro Council approved the county's Supportive Housing Services local implementation plan by a vote of 6-1 during a virtual meeting Thursday, April 29, with Councilor Mary Nolan casting the lone no vote. "The question my vote answers today is, 'Will this plan, if implemented as presented, achieve and deliver the results within the 10 years that the voters have generously given us to end homelessness in our region?'" said Nolan, who represents downtown and North Portland. "I come to the conclusion that it will not."
