Show Notes
Multnomah County grapples with a severe shelter shortage following the termination of payments for Rockwood Tower, a converted Best Western in Gresham. Accounting issues with the operator, East County Housing, led to the county cutting ties and scrambling for alternatives. The plan to move families to a Days Inn on Southeast Stark Street was disrupted by the owners financial struggles. Meanwhile, Legacy Health is seeking a twenty-two percent rate hike from insurers to cover increased costs, potentially raising member bills by the same amount. As these local issues unfold, communities await solutions to alleviate pressure on families and wallets.
