WASHINGTON COUNTY IS VOTING YES ON MEASURE 26–210 FOR SUPPORTIVE HOMELESS SERVICES

This Voter Pamphlet Statement was submitted in support of HereTogether’s regional homeless services ballot measure. Pledge to vote YES in support of Measure 26–210.

Everyone in our community is affected by the homelessness crisis. Especially here in Washington County, the impact of homelessness is present around us every single day.

Hardworking families should be able to afford to put a roof over their head, buy food to eat, and pay their bills. But for too many people — our friends, family, and neighbors who call Washington County home — that dream isn’t a reality.

Please join us in voting YES on Measure 26–210 by May 19. Together, we can support our most vulnerable Washington County community members with the supportive services they need to transition into safe and stable homes, or stay in their safe and stable homes, and keep our community healthy here, together.
