Portland's public housing authority, Home Forward, is preparing to announce staff layoffs next week. This decision stems from a worsening budget deficit, now estimated to be at least $38 million for fiscal year 2027. The organization's financial struggles have been exacerbated by previously unbudgeted expenses and unfulfilled cost-saving measures. Details regarding the specific positions affected and the impact on residents remain unclear. Affected employees will continue working until January 4th.
