During his 2024 election campaign, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson promised to end unsheltered homelessness within one year. To address the inherent problems of overnight-only shelters, the mayor added a day shelter. For example, Tuck says, Path Home was not informed about the request for proposal (RFP) process to operate the new temporary emergency shelters. This means the newly added 1,500 emergency shelter beds will not even cover those newly experiencing unsheltered homelessness since Mayor Wilson took office. He has managed to transition recently into a motel shelter instead of an emergency shelter, and is working with NWPP.
