PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Some of the city-sanctioned homeless camps are getting an upgrade. The city of Portland has purchased 100 new tiny home pods for the unsheltered at the Multnomah Safe Rest Village. Each one came with a $16,510 price tag.
While the cost is a steep one, Savannah Eadens, a public information officer for the Temporary Alternative Shelter Sites, said the units come with everything a resident will need inside. This includes a bed, bedding, and a heater.
The pods at Multnomah Village were paid for by federal American Rescue Plan (ARPA) money and Metro’s Supportive Housing funds.

They’ll be trashed within weeks.
The homeless will cut them up for firewood

Each has enough room for three peas.
Dog houses for people ?
I hope they at least come with a free shopping cart and an attached garage to keep it in.

They will be filled with feces and urine in short order, too.
How ironic. We used to have hospitals for the insane where they could be involuntarily housed, fed, and receive some care. The hospitals and asylums were often notorious as poorly run and unkind to the inmates.
Then the libs shut all those hospitals down and threw all those people out into the streets. Now we build crappy “pod housing” units
It’s the same as before except: 1) there’s no supervision, 2) there’s no food, 3) there’s no medical care, 4) it is voluntary, 5) people can use idrugs.
Hooverville.
It’s like a prison cell. LOL A real progressive American Dream.
Show this in other countries in an ad for the new American Dream. LOL Those illegals will make a southward run for the border.
Tiny home shelters are popping up in cities like LA and Sacramento. They have services for getting jobs, medical and mental health care, among others. They also provide a mailing address. Screening for new residents is also done.
Unsurprisingly they do have more than their fair share of law enforcement visits.
As a society we must do more for those unable to function temporarily or in a more permanent way. It’s a step in the right direction hopefully.
A 15 minute open air prison.
tiny brothels.
tiny meth kitchens.
tiny drug stores.
16000 seems a lot for that much of materials to build one ... i wonder which city dem got the grift concession.
Gee, I wonder how far you have to walk to find a place to pee or poop or take a shower? How about storing food and cooking? The governments in the US, local/state/federal continue to prove the only thing they are proficient at is winning elections and wasting tax payer money.
“They’ll be trashed within weeks”
Same thing that eventually happens to Habitat for Humanity houses.
Many end up as run down drug dens and crack shacks.

portland or any place in oregon would never let you build and live in one of these on your own property.
A great place to take drugs or prostitution hook up
Thanks for the honest forethought.
Unlike the rest of the ignorant posters on this topic, you know that over half of the homeless are either drug or mental people that can be helped ONLY if they ask.
What these ignorant don’t know is that the remainder of the half are people over the age of 55 and most of those are working homeless...the fastest growing population of homeless in the country.
But we can spend BILLIONS for wars in other countries and BILLIONS for border jumpers hey?
