VIDEO: The future of the Portland Street Response team in your neighborhood is uncertain as the team faces serious budget cuts.
Portland Fire & Rescue spokesperson Rick Graves confirmed to KATU that there are talks about moving Portland Street Response from PF&R to the Community Safety Division.
The program sends unarmed crisis response teams instead of police officers to assist people in mental health crises. It's currently managed by PF&R.
Right now, PSR comes at a cost of $11.5 million.
Nearly $6 million comes from the one-time American Rescue Plan Act, which will soon expire. Now, Portland Fire & Rescue is also looking to cut more than $3 million from its budget.
At a town hall Wednesday night dozens of people spoke out against defunding the Portland Street Response Team, also known as PSR.
