Either the City does not possess the records, or pursuant to ORS 192.311(2)(b) is not the custodian of the records in your public records request.
We have no jurisdiction over Portland Public Schools so we don't have access to any of those records, you would need to reach out to them directly.
We also do not have any existing records of total costs spend on individuals experiencing homelessness. We have program expenses, but we don't have any records that break out costs per individual. You can try checking with the Joint Office of Homeless Services, but I'm not aware of them tracking these costs either. We have separate programs to provide services, but costs per person isn't something we track.
If you can identify specific records that we do have, I can provide those - but you will need to specify the exact records you're seeking.
Due to the nature of your request, we could not locate any records responsive to your request.
The City now considers your request fulfilled and it will be closed.  Please note, messages on closed requests are not monitored.
