State Policy Action (The Housing Alliance)

About the Housing Alliance

In early 2003, housing advocates in Oregon came together to discuss a new approach to housing advocacy at the state level. We envisioned a coalition or alliance that would bring together the many voices and constituencies concerned with the lack of affordable housing and the devastating impact of that shortage on Oregon families and individuals. The Community Alliance of Tenants is the voice for tenants in the Housing Alliance.

The Housing Alliance brings together advocates, local governments, housing authorities, community development corporations, environmentalists, service providers, business interests and all others dedicated to increasing the resources available to meet our housing needs to support a common statewide legislative and policy agenda.

Our Legislative and Policy Agenda

Increased resources for affordable housing is the primary item on the Alliance agenda. All ideas, strategies and proposals will be considered as theHousing Alliance moves forward.

The membership will consider support for legislative agenda items that impact housing affordability or our key constituents. We use a modified consensus decision making model in all our deliberations.

Cuts to Portland’s inspection program Support safe housing and livable neighborhoods! Portland City Council needs to continue to fund the Neighborhood Inspections Program to address unsafe housing and neighborhood livability. Any decrease in the level of inspections will only force marginalized Portlanders to stay in deteriorating and unsafe housing conditions such: faulty wiring, overflowing dumpsters, inadequate heating, broken appliances, mold and pest infestations and harborage. Please contact the Mayor and Commissioners and voice your support for this critical effort!
