Episode Synopsis

Where do people experiencing homelessness go when their campsite is swept away? And how does Portland fare on the issue compared to other cities? Is it possible that Portland has more resources and a better plan?
On the latest episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian, reporter Nicole Hayden talks about the latest issues surrounding homelessness in Portland
We talked about the recent sweep of a long established camp site at Laurelhurst Park, the plan pushed by Commissioner Dan Ryan to build more rest sites with social services at six places across Portland, how she gets her sources when people are often pushed from one area of town to another and whether things are really as bad as they feel right now.
