REACH CEO, Margaret Salazar, recently spoke with OPB about the impact of federal housing cuts on Oregon’s homelessness crisis and the urgent need for long-term solutions. As the article highlights, funding reductions are slowing progress at a time when our communities need more investment in affordable housing—not less. At REACH, we remain committed to creating and preserving affordable homes, but we can’t do it alone. Now more than ever, we need bold action and sustained support to ensure every Oregonian has a safe, stable place to call home. (fb)
