  • Budget Review 2023-24 City of Portland BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS •

    Portland, OR
    Budget

    The City of Portland's FY 2023-24 budget totals $7.1 billion, a 1% decrease from the prior year driven largely by a $391 million reduction in debt proceeds, though the expenditure-only portion increased 2% to $4.2 billion with significant growth in personnel services and capital projects. The city identified three budget priorities: public safety (including 43 new police officers and $5.3 million in funding), charter change implementation ($2.5 million), and economic recovery and livability ($43.3 million for shelter beds and services for unhoused residents, plus $15.8 million for trash and graffiti removal). The budget office characterized FY 2024 as a "pinch year" for the General Fund due to expiring pandemic relief funds, with an estimated $66 million in ongoing programs currently funded through one-time dollars that will require alternative funding sources in future years.
