Take Action Today to Protect People who Rent their Homes

The Oregon Housing Alliance, May 4, 2020: 'We need your help! This will take about five minutes of your time today, an have a huge impact on our state. We need your help to ask Congress to commit $100 billion in rental assistance to help people who are struggling to pay their rent because of COVID-19.'

This won't happen unless our representatives understand how important stable housing is to their constituents.

Three of Oregon's Congressional Representatives are among the 70+ co-sponsors who are introducing the Emergency Rental Assistance and Rental Market Stabilization Act

Congressman Greg Walden, who represents Central Oregon, is one of two representatives who has not yet signed on. To tell your story, you can visit the Oregon Housing Alliance for a sample script and contact information. Learn more about the act and how your organization can support through the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

Your voice matters now more than ever.
