The Joint Office of Homeless Services is an agency run by Multnomah County to provide services and care to those experiencing homelessness. The City of Portland contributes 9 percent of its budget.[2]

In 2024, city councilors considered withdrawing from this partnership, but left it in place after the election of mayor Keith Wilson who ran on a platform of ending unshelterd homelessness.[2][3]

Earlier in 2024 it was reported that the JOHS increased people it was able to put into housing by 28 percent compared to 2023.[4]

In February 2025, the JOHS reported a budget gap of $104 million, saying it would not be able to meet its commitments this year.[5]
