In 2021, Senate Bill 858 held two hearings and was voted out of the Senate Housing Committee with a do-pass recommendation. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it through the Revenue Committee by the end of the legislative session. We continue to carry the torch to reform one of Oregon’s largest housing subsidies.
