'Political shenanigans': Homeless service providers roiled as Portland poised to pull funding

Now before you get all riled up... yes, superficially this LOOKS bad:

"The city of Portland sends the county roughly $30 million per year to fund about 10% of the Joint Office of Homeless Services budget."

But the Joint Office is the same agency leaving budgeted money UNSPENT. $113 million in 2024 alone.

For some reason this article left that part out.

If they failed to spend $113 million, do they REALLY need Portland's $30 million? Would we be better off if Portland spent that money itself?
