Good morning, Lake Oswego.

A report from Portland State University showed that homelessness in Multnomah County increased 67% since 2023, with a January 22 count finding 12,034 homeless people in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties — rising evictions, more outreach and fewer affordable homes were cited as reasons. The count is used to meet federal funding requirements for housing and homelessness services.

The Metro Council voted to set aside $500,000 in contingency funds — a move to preserve food access as federal SNAP funding remains delayed — while other local jurisdictions are taking similar steps to support community needs.

SNAP recipients in Lake Oswego are nearing day 4 without their benefits amid ongoing federal uncertainty — the Sunshine Division said it served 100 people by mid Tuesday morning.

The Portland Timbers are being inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame to honor their magical season (2015) and mark a decade since they won the MLS Cup (2015).

The honor celebrates the team’s lasting impact on local sports.
