Description

Ben Worden, a shelter participant at River District Navigation Center, sits with his dog, Mouse, in March. The center is one of several shelters set to close this summer due to county budget cuts.

At a budget meeting Tuesday, Multnomah County officials told commissioners homelessness would likely rise between now and June 2027, pretty much no matter what they did.
