Real Results for Multnomah County.
Multnomah County faces serious challenges — housing instability, public safety concerns, and economic hardship. These problems are connected, and solving them requires leadership that understands how systems work and how to make them work better.
Herman Greene is running for County Commissioner District - 2 to bring practical leadership focused on results, accountability, and solutions that strengthen our communities. His priorities focus on aligning housing, safety, and economic opportunity so county programs deliver measurable outcomes for the people they serve.
Housing That Leads to Stability
Every person deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Multnomah County must move beyond temporary solutions and focus on long-term housing stability that helps people rebuild their lives.
Herman believes housing efforts must be connected to the services and support that help people stay housed and succeed.
Key priorities include:
• Expanding housing placements that focus on long-term stability
• Connecting housing programs with mental health, addiction recovery, and workforce services
• Strengthening coordination between service providers to reduce repeat homelessness
• Ensuring public dollars are used effectively with measurable outcomes
When housing systems work properly, fewer people return to the streets and more families regain stability.
Long-term housing success requires better coordination between housing providers, service organizations, and county agencies. Herman will work to ensure the county’s investments produce real outcomes and that housing programs are accountable to the communities they serve.
Safer Communities Through Smart Coordination
Public safety is essential for healthy communities. Residents deserve neighborhoods where families feel safe, businesses can thrive, and individuals experiencing crisis receive the help they need.
Herman believes safety is strengthened when public safety systems work together — including crisis response, behavioral health services, and community support programs.
Key priorities include:
• Strengthening coordination between crisis response teams and service providers
• Improving access to mental health and addiction treatment resources
• Supporting frontline workers with clear systems and accountability
• Reducing repeat emergency calls by addressing root causes of crisis
Effective systems reduce chaos, improve safety, and help people move toward stability.
When crisis response systems are coordinated effectively, individuals receive help earlier and communities experience fewer repeated emergencies. Herman will work to improve communication and accountability across the systems responsible for responding to crisis.
Economic Opportunity That Strengthens Families
Economic opportunity is one of the most powerful tools for preventing instability and helping communities thrive.
Herman believes the county should play a stronger role in connecting people to living-wage jobs, workforce pathways, and economic opportunity.
Key priorities include:
• Expanding workforce development and job training partnerships
• Strengthening pathways to living-wage employment
• Partnering with businesses, unions, and community organizations
• Removing barriers that prevent people from re-entering the workforce
When people have access to meaningful work and opportunity, families stabilize and communities grow stronger.
Investing in economic opportunity reduces long-term dependency and strengthens communities. Herman will work to ensure county programs support job readiness, workforce development, and pathways to long-term economic stability.
Accountability and Results
Herman Greene believes government must be accountable to the people it serves. That means measuring outcomes, improving transparency, and making sure public investments deliver real benefits to the community.
Multnomah County deserves leadership focused on solutions, collaboration, and measurable results.
