On Monday, Governor Tina Kotek stepped up her requests for greater state funding to address Oregon’s housing and homelessness challenges, support mental health services, and enhance child outcomes—priorities she has consistently highlighted in her first two years in office.
She made this announcement when she unveiled her ideas for the state’s 2025–2027 budget, which she says will increase spending by 17% from the 2023 budget authorized by parliament to $39.3 billion in general and lottery fund spending.
