Issue Position: Housing

Issue Position

Nearly every day Rob takes time to contact individual people in SE & NE Portland to hear about what's on their mind, and one issue comes up more than any other: Housing. Portland is facing a housing crisis and Rob has taken action. he supported the 1st statewide rent stabilization law in the country, which helps protect tenants from price-gouging and unfair treatment, and he supported legislation to increase the stock of affordable housing in cities like Portland. But he knows we have to do more. Rob supports repealing a decades-old law preventing cities like Portland from implementing rent control and other tenant protections, and investing millions in affordable housing solutions throughout Oregon.

Rob, just like all of us, is concerned about our fellow Portlanders who are houseless. In addition to supporting more affordable housing and tenant protections, Rob has consistently fought for more funding for mental health and addiction treatment, and will continue to do so both in the legislature and at the ballot.
