Senate Hearing Tomorrow on State of Nation's Housing Market, Likely to Include Discussion of Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension.

Hearing is Tuesday, Oct 20@ 6:30 AM Pacific time; Hearing page is HERE.

NLIHC alert to hearing and summary about related home buyer's tax credit extension bill is HERE. (Note that Chair Dodd is co-chair of extension bill).

My bet is that NLIHC Board member testifying will refer to open letter [What WE Mean by Housing] signed by more than 1,000 organizations asking for a better balance between resources provided for home ownership vs resources provided to lower income households/renters.

That letter is HERE, and Oregon signatories currently appearing (pg 21) are:

Bienestar – Hillsboro, OR
CASA of Oregon – Newberg, OR
Community Housing Fund – Beaverton, OR
Community Partners for Affordable Housing – Tigard, OR
Housing Alliance – Portland, OR
Housing Authority of Washington County – Hillsboro, OR
Northwest Pilot Project – Portland, OR
Oregon Opportunity Network – Portland, OR
ROSE Community Development – Portland, OR
St. Joseph Homeless and Migrant Shelter – Mt. Angel, OR
William Temple House, Episcopal Mission Society - Portland, OR
