Oregon Housing Alliance

Here’s the link to the Housing Alliance site mentioned in my Letter to the Editor in today’s Oregonian. I’m excited about the prospects of new funding for affordable housing in the 2007 Legislature. Safe, decent housing at a cost that doesn’t force hardworking people to choose between paying the rent and putting food on the table is essential for our city. The Housing Alliance is proposing increasing fees on document registration, which would raise $60m in new funds dedicated for affordable housing. A good step forward, if adopted.
