Housing and Homelessness
Information regarding my stance on Housing issues.
The groundbreaking for a multi-use development in Cornelius housing a brand new library, YMCA and 45 affordable apartments for seniors happens this Saturday.
Cornelius Place, located at 14th and Adair, is a joint project of the City of Cornelius Public Library, Bienestar and BRIDGE Housing.
Community support agents recently met with a congresswoman to discuss issues related to housing and veteran services. Representatives from Community Action Team (CAT) presented a range of concerns to Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D) during a meeting on July 5 in St. Helens.
Bonamici, who represents the northwest region of the state, began by sharing her background in legal aid, working her way through college while serving low-income families, learning firsthand how legislative policies affect people's lives.
M. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Senate amendment to H.R. 244, the FY2017 omnibus spending bill. This is not a perfect bill, but many priorities that are important to my constituents in Oregon and people around the country are funded and protected, and it prevents a government shutdown.
