KGW reported that Portland is considering selling a PBOT plot in Southeast Portland.
A sale of the PBOT plot is under consideration.
The Portland Housing Bureau describes 73Foster as a 64-unit development on the SE Foster corridor, including 22 units of Permanent Supportive Housing.
The figures describe activity at this parcel, not the scale of homelessness across Portland. For wider context, Portland State University’s 2025 tri-county point-in-time count recorded 12,034 people experiencing homelessness across Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties on January 22, 2025, a 61% increase from 2023. The university reported a 67% increase in Multnomah County’s homeless individual count over that period, while noting that an additional data source used in 2025 explained part of the change, according to its count release.
Portland’s campsite-removal policy says the city will provide 72-hour notice before a removal. That citywide rule does not establish what notice was given for clearances at this site.
A sale of the property is under consideration.
