2009 Housing Opportunities Agenda
Download Questions & Answers about HB 2436, the Housing Opportunity Bill! Check out the latest Action Alert for HB 2436!
Across Oregon, housing prices in the private market are out of reach of ordinary people. It’s time to take action and ensure that all Oregonians have the opportunity for success that comes with having an affordable place to live.
We are calling on the Legislature to:
- Dedicate new sources of funds to meet critical housing needs
We need affordable homes for hardworking families and our neighbors on fixed incomes
Let’s move closer to our goal of $100 million per biennium for housing needs! The funds will be raised through a modest increase to the Document Recording Fee (HB2436), lottery proceeds, strategic General Fund allocation, and an increase to the cap on Oregon Affordable Housing Tax Credits (SB199). They will be distributed through existing, proven programs to help meet community needs and priorities across the state.

We need your support.
