The City of Portland today announced the opening of two new overnight shelters that will provide a warm, safe place to sleep for hundreds of our homeless neighbors undergoing recovery from substance abuse. This expansion will add 280 new beds to the City’s portfolio of emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness.
“As it gets colder at night, these shelters provide lifesaving beds for people sleeping outside,” said Mayor Keith Wilson. “Our goal is a warm, safe bed for every person, every night as we help our neighbors off the streets, and keep them off the streets.”
With the opening of these sites, the total number of overnight shelter beds created by the City of Portland since January 2025 now stands at 1,090. Wilson’s goal is to create 1,500 beds by the end of the year…
