Tina for Oregon [[link removed]]
John — Tina’s mission as Governor will always be to deliver results and move the state forward, so that every Oregonian, no matter their race or zip code, can have the same opportunities.

That means building more housing and reducing homelessness, improving access to mental health and addiction services, and ensuring that Oregon’s children are better served by the state.

That’s why Tina released detailed budget recommendations for the Oregon State Legislature, a roadmap that will put the state on a path to solving our most pressing challenges.

Here’s what you need to know:

On Housing and Homelessness:

*
Governor
Kotek’s
plan
involves
investing
in
strategies
to
help
reduce
unsheltered
homelessness,
rehouse
Oregonians,
build
and
preserve
more
affordable
housing,
and
increase
homeownership.
This
means
investing
millions
of
dollars
in
getting
Oregonians
living
in
tents
off
the
streets
and
into
shelters
and
permanent,
supportive
housing.
Along
with
providing
incentives
to
build
and
grow
affordable
housing
throughout
the
state
so
that
no
Oregonian
has
to
find
themselves
homeless
in
the
future.

On Mental Health and Addiction Services:

*
The
plan
will
disrupt
the
harmful
and
expensive
homelessness-jail-hospital
pipeline,
decrease
preventable
deaths
from
substance
use
and
mental
health
needs,
and
stabilize
the
behavioral
health
workforce.
To
help
accomplish
all
this,
the
budget
will
make
continued
investments
in
substance
use
treatment
and
behavioral
health
provider
incentives,
as
well
as
increase
funds
for
mental
health
residential
capacity
and
improving
Oregon’s
crisis
prevention
system.

On Early Learning and K-12 Education

*
The
plan
ensures
Oregon
children
are
better
served
by
K-12
schools
—
focusing
on
improving
student
literacy
and
stabilizing
early
childhood
services.
This
involves
increasing
the
State
School
Fund
and
fully
funding
the
High
School
Success
program
to
improve
graduation
rates
and
give
students
the
tools
to
be
career
and
college
ready.
The
plan
makes
additional
investments
to
increase
literacy
rates,
expand
summer
enrichment
programs,
and
enhance
early
learning
programs,
so
that
all
students,
no
matter
their
background,
start
their
education
on
the
right
foot.

It’s a plan we’re proud of, John. It rises to the challenges facing Oregon by getting back to the basics, working in collaboration with communities, making smart investments where necessary, and staying the course where prudent.

The next step in making this budget a reality is to show the Oregon Legislature that the people support it and feel empowered by its vision. Can you take a moment to add your name and show that the public is behind Tina’s plan and her mission to create a brighter future for Oregon? [[link removed]]

— Team Tina
