Count the Rent, Not Just the Tents: Clark County Housing
Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Camas resident Anthony Teso examines Clark County's 18 percent drop in counted homelessness and questions what the number leaves out. He points to University of Washington research finding rents and vacancy rates predict homelessness better than drug use or mental illness, and traces how Clark County's housing market shifted as the region became Portland's bedroom community. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-count-the-rent-not-just-the-tents/ #Homelessness #HousingCosts #ClarkCounty #Vancouver #Opinion #PublicHousing #AffordableHousing #Washington
