John, 

ICYMI — My housing production bill, the ONLY legislation I introduced this session, has passed through the Oregon legislature and is headed to my desk for my signature!

Oregonians are struggling under the pressure of an increasingly unaffordable housing market. After hearing this concern directly from Oregonians from across our state last year, I knew we had to make major progress on our housing crisis during this year’s legislative session. 

My bill — plus a companion bill of additional investments — offer a menu of tools that will provide the support needed to ease our housing crisis and help all our communities thrive. I believe this package will make meaningful progress in fixing our housing supply problem while also protecting our cherished land use system and our environmental values. 

But this is not the finish line. We have more work ahead to solve our housing and homelessness crises – and I will keep pushing for more because the need is so great. Oregonians are counting on us to deliver. 

I want to thank legislators for meeting the urgency of this moment and providing much-needed funding that will boost housing production throughout the state.

Best wishes, 

Tina
