New numbers from the Portland State University’s Homelessness Research and Action Collaborative reveal that the number of homeless people in the state is up 8.5% and the number of unsheltered homeless has increased 17.2% since 2022. To growing homeless numbers, liberal politicians are offering more free stuff.   Oregon is putting into effect their Direct Cash Transfer Plus program which gives unrestricted $1,000 monthly payments to homeless youth.  There is very little restrictions to qualify for this program.

Here are other ways our politicians are giving away free stuff:

– Multnomah County is moving ahead with their plan to give free crack pipes, straws and tin foils to drug users.
– Several lawmakers authored a bill to expand food stamps to cover hot meals such as pizza, hot dogs and french fries.
– Portland City Commissioners are trying to steer $3 million to the Portland Street Response program which hands out free clothing, food and cigarettes to homeless.
