SHS Advisory Committee
The SHS Advisory Committee advises Multnomah County on adherence to the Metro Supportive Housing Services (SHS) Measure and the County’s Local Implementation Plan (LIP) and future regional plans, and will provide accountability and recommendations related to the LIP and SHS program.
The SHS Measure (Measure 26-210) was passed by voters in Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas County in 2020 to fund services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The aim of the Measure is to reduce homelessness through services that help people find and keep safe and stable homes.

- have lived experience of homelessness and/or extreme poverty;
