Oregon Governor on SNAP benefit cuts from the federal government

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson is on the cusp of achieving one of his primary campaign promises: Setting up 1,500 new shelter beds by Dec. 1. As of Sunday, Portland has 890 city-funded shelter beds – most of them overnight-only – that did not exist before Wilson took office. Another 200-bed overnight-only shelter is set to open in eight days. And locations and supplies have been secured for more than 500 additional “flex beds” that can be made available within 24 hours, according to city officials.
