Portland Mayor Keith Wilson ran on a pledge to end unsheltered homelessness by 2026.

Despite Multnomah County’s rising count of people living outside, he says he’s on track to deliver on that promise.

In episode 17 of the Stump Talk podcast, Mayor Wilson returns to the studio to discuss his race against time to bring unsheltered Portlanders inside by year’s end.

This episode also features commentary from Oregonian homelessness reporter Lillian Mongeau Hughes.
