Description

Leilani Vernon-Reyes, who lives in subsidized housing in the Portland area, created a memorial to her late son in her new bedroom, pictured here in September. Her son's death sent Vernon-Reyes into a spiral that ended with several years on the streets and the recurrence of a long dormant addiction. Caseworkers with Central City Concern, which is one of many nonprofits that operates with public funding in the Portland area, pulled her out of it.

Metro, the Portland area’s regional government, has raised $1.4 billion in tax revenue since 2020 specifically to provide homeless services in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties.
