Description
The city of Portland has been grappling with homelessness for decades. Longtime residents remember then-Mayor Bud Clark’s plan to solve the problem in the 1980s. But the plight of unsheltered residents has continued and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated efforts to help the unhoused.

The Oregonian/OregonLive’s full time beat reporter Nicole Hayden joins Editor Therese Bottomly for a conversation about the city, county and Metro efforts.
