As Multnomah County faces questions about a huge shortfall in its upcoming homelessness services budget, county officials are defending their spending choices.

“I stand by the money that we’ve moved into the community,” ​​Multnomah County Homeless Services Director Dan Field said.

Multnomah County has been under fire since asking for aid from other governments last month to cover a gap in its homeless services budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year that officials initially claimed was $104 million wide.

Additional reporting by The Oregonian/OregonLive showed that the actual gap if the county doesn’t refill its reserves is closer to $70 million.
