Metro agrees to delay bringing homeless services tax extension to voters

Metro Council President Lynn Peterson proposed that Metro form a working group to ensure any measure referred to the fall ballot had as much support as possible.

The Metro Council in Oregon has decided to postpone the vote on extending the homeless services tax, originally set for May 2025, to November 2025. This decision was influenced by the need for more time to assess the effectiveness of the Supportive Housing Services program, which has been funded by the tax since its inception in 2020. The tax, a 1% levy on high-income earners, has generated significant funds for housing and services for the homeless, but there are concerns about its efficiency and the potential for voter fatigue. Metro Council President Lynn Peterson emphasized the importance of demonstrating the program's impact before asking voters to extend it. The delay aims to provide a clearer picture of the program's outcomes and to better prepare for the upcoming ballot measure.
