Housing Alliance Update
January 26, 2012
The Housing Alliance believes everyone needs a place to call home. Over the past legislative session, we have worked together to secure the resources we need to create strong communities across Oregon, and we’ve pulled together to protect those most affected by the economic recession.
The February 2012 Legislative Session begins on February 1, 2012! The Housing Alliance has set an agenda for 2012.
2012 Agenda
You can download a copy of our agenda here. Our agenda will include:
- Protecting Basic Services for Oregonians
- Preserve Existing Affordable Housing
- Ensure Effective Recordation of Affordable Housing Covenants
- Protect Homeowners Facing Foreclosure
- Support the extension of the Farmworker Housing Tax Credit
- Protect Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
- Fix problems with the Senior & Disabled Property Tax Deferral Program
We need you to visit your Legislators!
Interested in visiting your Legislator about housing needs in your community? Be in touch with Alison. We will be in Salem every Monday and Tuesday during the session and will be meeting with Legislators.
