In less than a month, hundreds of asylum-seekers staying at the Portland Expo will have to find a new place to live.
City leaders hope a newly expanded "home-share" program could be part of the solution.
The emergency shelter at the Expo is expected to close on August 16. It originally opened in April after an influx of more than 1,500 asylum-seekers arrived in the city.
