Thread: I’m not going to lie. Today was very hard. At @StreetRoots we prepared for three days to be able to support unhoused people apply for one time cash assistance from the Portland Housing Bureau.
We paid five unhoused people to run computer stations. 70 people lined up for hours to be ready for the 10 a.m. time when this application process opened. We paid two more people to help folks social distance while serving them coffee to keep morale okay.
And you know what? We got almost no one signed up. The system closed by 10:20 a.m. That was how overwhelming the need is.
