PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Everyone agrees there is a homeless problem in Portland. But too many people turn away from looking.
In a 5-part series, “The Unsheltered Truth”, KOIN 6 News anchor Jeff Gianola took an unflinching look at the problems facing Portland, the issues surrounding the reasons, business owners who deal with the issue everyday and possible solutions Portland could implement that other cities are now using.
One group of people not interviewed for this series: politicians and city and county leaders.
These are the stories of people actually living on the streets and those people actively seeking humane solutions
