Show Notes
Portlands asylum seeker shelter closes due to dwindling use, blamed on stricter immigration policies. The facility once held 179, now down to 1, with the last leaving by March 20th. City leaders cite budget pressures and lay off 35 staff, saving $1.5 million. The space will be reused as a warming shelter until mid-April, then repurposed for next winter.
