Our nation s affordable housing crisis has grown worse with the coronavirus. Locally, our businesses suffer endlessly from gaining employees because people cannot locate housing. Our Congressman Kurt Schrader (D-OR) has displayed an utter disinterest in this front-burner issue, and we need another person in our fifth district to work on this important need of our people.
The severe lack of housing is causing distress for countless families and workers. People need housing to stabilize families, support those who are disabled, support working people who want to make their way in our society. We must have leadership in Congress as this issue is systemic throughout America. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is a federal government entity, and the community development block grant (CDBG) program can help communities such as ours.

Washington The House is poised to take up the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package passed by the Senate, teeing up the aid measure for President Biden s signature in the coming days.
The sweeping legislation, known as the American Rescue Plan, made its way across the U.S. Capitol to the House on Tuesday morning following the Senate s approval of the package on Saturday, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer confirmed on Twitter.
The bill passed a procedural vote on Tuesday by a vote of 219-210, clearing the way for a final vote that is expected Wednesday morning. Congressman Jared Golden, who voted against the original version of the bill, was the lone Democrat to vote no on Tuesday. The other Democrat who voted against the first version, Congressman Kurt Schrader, tweeted on Monday that the changes in the Senate bill were sufficient for him to switch his vote to yes.
Congress used the budget reconciliation process to pass the measure, which allowed the aid package to pass the Senate with a simple-majority vote after a grueling 24 hours of voting that was nearly derailed by disagreements over unemployment insurance benefits.
The COVID-19 relief package provides $1,400 direct payments to individuals making up to $75,000 annually, $350 billion in aid to state and local governments a sticking point in past negotiations between Republicans and Democrats and $14 billion for vaccine distribution. The measure also includes an additional $300 in weekly jobless benefits through September and a child allowance of up to $3,600 per family.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters many Americans will receive their checks by the end of the month.
