Our tax dollars at work!
Majority Democrats in the Oregon Legislature have unveiled their plan to spend $400 million to ease homelessness and promote lower-cost housing, on top of a record $700 million that lawmakers approved last year.
As of January 2020, Oregon had an estimated 14,655 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Of that Total, 825 were family households, 1,329 were Veterans, 1,314 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24), and 4,339 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.
So it appears that they are going to spend $1.1 BILLION DOLLARS on this.
With an estimated 14,655 homeless in Oregon in 2020, call it 20,000 today. Well simple math says they are going to spend $55,000 on each person. Well, isn't that nice? So what it really means is that they will spend $550 on each person with the rest being pocketed.
