Recent legislation helped, but many Oregonians - particularly Black and Hispanic families - face additional challenges
In December s one-day special session, Oregon lawmakers took action to ensure that Oregonians won t be evicted during the darkest days of winter as COVID-19 continues to disrupt our communities and economy.
Through the passage of House Bill 4401, the Oregon Legislature recognized the importance of having a safe and stable home.
Testimony in favor of the bill came from nearly 200 renters, landlords, faith leaders and service organizations, painting a powerful picture of the financial insecurity the virus has wrought on Oregon families in every part of the state.
