1. Tools for Local Advocacy are now online at www.oregonhousingalliance.org/

The Housing Alliance website has information for each County in Oregon comparing wage/income by profession or source of income versus local housing costs.  Just go to Telling Our Story, Comparison of occupations, wages and housing costs by County, and click the County for which you want information to download a .pdf file.
 
Thanks to the Housing Alliance Outreach Committee and the staff of AOCDO and NPF for their work getting this together!
 
 
2. Endorsement Campaign Contest: Win $1,000 for the non-profit housing organization of your choice!
 
2007 Housing Opportunity Agenda Endorsement Contest

Help expand housing opportunity for Oregonians and win big bucks for your favorite housing organization!
  
To help us reach our goal and in the spirit of friendly competition, the Neighborhood Partnership Fund (courtesy of Enterprise Community Partners) is offering to donate $1,000 to the non-profit housing organization of choice of the individual who collects the most valid endorsements of our two lead agenda items between now and the Housing Alliance Congress on December 5 in Salem.
  
What is the process?
It’s simple! Just email, fax or mail in the completed endorsement forms to the Housing Alliance c/o the Neighborhood Partnership Fund, Attn: Amy Fauver, 1020 SW Taylor Street, Suite 680, Portland, OR 97205 (or via email).
