Downtown Brings Homeless Problem into Focus

Used succesfully in other communities, “Housing First” targets the most at-risk homeless population and saves the comunity money.  Those most likely to be offered “housing first” are the chronically inebriated people routinely taken from downtown to the hospital or  jail by police or emergency services only to return downtown again hours later.  This is a costly cycle – and a cycle that negatively impacts the downtown business community.  Learn more – stories from the News-Miner and KUAC.
