We MUST pass FULLY-FUND the Governor's housing package.

It includes essential funding for:

Rental assistance to prevent evictions

Re-housing services

Tenant support and stabilization programs, including programs like like our Renters’ Rights Hotline

The woman in this story is choosing between medicine and food, while trying to keep a roof over her head with rising costs. We hear this story every week on our Renters' Rights Hotline. This is high-rent homelessness. This is a Renters State of Emergency.

"Since COVID-19, the US has faced a once-in-a-generation crisis of housing affordability. In 2022, a typical renter devoted a greater share of income to rent than at any point this century. Putting a roof over your head had never been so expensive."

#AIPriceFixing is a growing problem!

Corporate landlords are letting robots set the terms of our already volatile housing market.

Let's pass this in Portland, and then take the protections further and ban AI Price fixing statewide with #SB722.

🚨WATCH: A $7,000 Rent Hike?! 🚨

Senate Bill 722 will ensure that predatory annual rent hikes like this are reined in for THOUSANDS more Oregonians and BAN the proliferation of #AI price fixing. Let's cut the rent hike loopholes!

[Community Alliance of Tenants - Oregon @catoregon]

Is your rent being driven up by AI? Watch this video from @EugTenantPower on how to spot the tell-tell signs. Watch the video & sign up to testify in support of SB 722 to strengthen #AIpricefixing protections & close loopholes on predatory rent hikes https://t.co/fuWDEZ1UNo

🚨 OREGON EVICTIONS ARE AT ALL TIME HIGHS 🚨

Elected officials MUST ELIMINATE the loophole on our current limits on rent increases, to protect vulnerable tenants from evictions.

This cannot wait. #orleg #orpol

@MacSmiff Infuriating😡

"The agency reported that the landlords operate 1.3 million rental units in 43 states. According to court documents, renters in several local submarkets — including PDX, Hillsboro & Beaverton — have been or could have been harmed by RealPage’s algorithm."

[Community Alliance of Tenants - Oregon @catoregon]

UNACCEPTABLE 🚨 Most renters in Oregon are rent-burdened. Nobody who works full-time should be on edge of eviction every month. Costs are continuing to skyrocket, and more Oregonians are ending up on the streets. This is high-rent homelessness.

Here are the days our Renters' Rights Hotline will be open during our holiday break. Call us at 503-288-0130.

From the grocery store, to childcare, to the gas pump it should not feel like a luxury to keep a roof over your head. Asking working people, often times to work more, to pay more with less left in our pockets cannot continue to be the Oregon way.
