Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Housing and Property

Housing is a basic human right, and every person in Oregon deserves a place to call home. Houselessness makes it harder for people to thrive over their lifetime and is a major barrier to finding and keeping a job, going to school, and getting care for chronic health issues, mental illness, and substance use. As a pediatrician, Lisa sees the impact housing instability has on kids and families firsthand.

In the Oregon House, Lisa will:

Work to decrease the gap between income and housing costs

Advocate for long term rent assistance to keep vulnerable families in their homes

Push for more affordable, supportive housing units across the state
