I am moving into the Bud Clark Center, I will be paying RENT over 200.00 a month I had to pass a criminal screening and eviction and property damage check. I am not a drug addict. I was born with a back problem and legally blind but it wasn't discovered until my teens. There are 1000s and 1000s AND 1000s of subsidized apartments in Portland. I am 54 and have never had help with my rent before,and have been homeless on and off since I was 16 and find your comments insulting. Their are section 8, HAP, Housing authority etc. housing that families go on for generations, homeless people are usually working people who are not on the dole and fall between all the cracks. Give them a break.................

I'm moving into the public housing part of the Bud Clark Center. I will be paying rent and just like all the other public housing complexes I had to pass an extensive background check. I am not a bum or a drug addict and I find your comments insulting. There are tens of thousands of subsidized housing units in Portland are you calling all those people bums too.
