Oregon is subsidizing vacation houses while first-time homebuyers face record prices. LC 276 ends this subsidy and redirects $9-$10M/year to proven down payment assistance programs. Contact your legislators ⬇️ shorturl.at/JIoVb

Save the date! 📅 RE:Conference is back Oct 27-28 at the Salem Convention Center. This year's theme: RE:Centering Community — focusing on community, communication, and collaboration in our housing and economic justice work.

Important op-ed in the Oregonian published yesterday. NP is participating in efforts to decouple our tax code from the federal one. If the legislature doesn't act, we'll be going into the short session with nearly a $900 million loss of income. www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Some math on movement-building in Oregon: For every $1 invested in policy advocacy, estimates suggest up to $100 flows to frontline service providers. That’s why we fund the infrastructure—not just the symptoms. Support our year-end campaign: neighborhoodpartnerships.org/donate-2/

Congress expanded a tax break for millionaire investors. Oregon's tax code automatically copies federal changes—so we'll lose millions unless the legislature "disconnects." NP is joining @ocppnews.bsky.social in advocating to stop this giveaway to the rich. www.ocpp.org/2025/12/04/o...

When 743 Oregonians spoke up about emergency funding cuts, leadership listened. $11M restored = 1,400 households stayed housed. Our coalition secured $1.14B for housing in 2025. Now we're building infrastructure for future wins. Goal: $10K from 50+ supporters by Dec 31. shorturl.at/va5qr

🏠 Eugene housing advocates push for Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA)—giving renters first dibs when their building goes up for sale. A step toward affordability and community control. 🔗https://shorturl.at/iWmcW Would you support TOPA in your city? #HousingJustice #CommunityOwnership

Portland Housing Director Helmi Hisserich has resigned after being "asked to step down without notice that my work was unsatisfactory.” Her resignation letter, shared with OPB, points to a divide between how the city addresses its housing and homelessness crises.

It seems likely that City Council will pass legislation banning AI rental price-fixing at tonight's meeting. But the Council's conversation about the ban has raised interesting questions (and caused some drama, too). For example, do renter protections necessarily mean reduced housing development?

BREAKING: Trump's overhaul of the $3.9B Continuum of Care program forces Oregon housing providers into an impossible choice: comply with new federal mandates OR keep state funding. Not both. 2,500+ Oregonians could lose permanent housing. 🧵

More silliness - try another way Portland Mayor - the way you just stopped

You can't end homelessness without housing. Portland's Mayor removed the expert leading us toward proven solutions (social housing = what works in Vienna). The City Council voted unanimously for this work. Our community deserves better. Take Action: tinyurl.com/5acu63bj

Day 1 in Vienna and housing justice lessons everywhere 🏠 • 98% worker coverage under collective bargaining vs ~10% in the U.S. • Toured Karl Marx Hof—affordable, stunning municipal housing that’s lasted nearly 100 years • Transit connects everything seamlessly

Labor Day reminder: Workers literally bled for weekends, 8-hour days, overtime pay. Oregon workers need 88 hours/week just for rent now. ($33.02/hour housing wage vs $15.70 minimum) Same collective power that won the weekend can win housing justice. Read more: tinyurl.com/mvcawb6y

The world’s most livable city houses 40% of its residents affordably. Seriously. This September, Oregon’s delegation is going to Vienna to learn how—and come back ready to act. Learn more: neighborhoodpartnerships.org/2025/08/26/o...

A second reading of this ordinance is first up on the regular agenda for the City Council's April 16 meeting (next Wednesday).

📢 HOUSING ALERT: Condos are 38% more affordable than single-family homes in Oregon, but they're disappearing from our housing market. HB 3746-3 would reform outdated liability laws that have caused condo production to drop 92% since 2006. Your voice matters! Tell your Rep to vote YES!

Today’s housing crisis shows that property ownership is still deeply racialized. That’s why it’s more important than ever to work together towards a just housing system, where EVERYONE has affordable and dignified housing. #HousingJusticeIsRacialJustice. youtu.be/GY49cThlUqE
