Portland City Council approves $27M for new homeless camps

Summary by Ground News
The money will help finance a measure passed by the City Council earlier this month that banned street camping and approved the creation of six outdoor sites where homeless people will be allowed to camp. Under the measure, a ban on street camping will phase in over the next year and a half as the sites are completed. The location of the sites and the exact details of how they will work have yet to be confirmed.
