Housing and Homelessness
Information regarding my stance on Housing issues.
Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has released details about an extension to the federal eviction moratorium. Several months ago, Congress provided funding to help renters get through the pandemic. Many Oregonians are still trying to access the assistance, which is also available to landlords, a release from Bonamici's office states. Bonamici said just by applying for assistance, Oregon renters are protected from eviction for an additional 60 days, and in Multnomah county it's an additional 90 days. Renters and property owners can check eligibility here.
Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici stopped in Washington County Saturday afternoon to thank firefighters for their efforts in battling the Chehalem Mountain Fire.
She met with crews from Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue and heard from firefighters about what they needed to finish putting out hotspots from the wildfire.
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Beaverton, noted the approval in a tweet saying she appreciated it was done quickly "so we can promptly send more help where it is desperately needed."
Rep. Greg Walden, the only Republican in Oregon's delegation connected the speedy approval to a meeting he held with President Trump this week.
