In May 2020, voters in greater Portland approved a new regional supportive housing services fund paid for by a personal income tax and a business income tax.

Metro supportive housing services taxes went into effect in 2021 and are set to expire in 2030 unless extended by voters. While the revenue stream will fluctuate, the goal was to raise $250 million annually to help end homelessness across greater Portland.

The funds come from two separate taxes:

a 1% marginal personal income tax on taxable income above $125,000 for individuals and $200,000 for those filing jointly
a 1% business income tax on net income for businesses with gross receipts above $5 million.

Metro works with the City of Portland to collect these taxes, even outside of Portland. Technical assistance and the payment portal are available at Portland Revenue Online.
