As we work to get more people housed, we must stop revolving door evictions.
Join us in taking action on the Stable Homes for Oregon Families Homelessness Prevention Package for 2025:
-
$109 Million Rent Assistance to help people who need it,
-
$64.2 Million Homelessness Prevention Programs
-
SB 722 Rent Stabilization Improvements. Increase the number of units covered by reasonable rent limits of 10% to stabilized households. Also, it prohibits the illegal use of artificial intelligence for price fixing.
-
SB 599 Fair Housing for All. Strengthen civil rights protections in the landlord tenant act.
Four in 10 Oregonians rent their homes and after making the rent payment, more than 50% of them don’t have enough money left over after paying the rent for food, child care, transportation, health care, taxes, and other necessities.
The 10% allowable rent increase established by the passage SB 608 in 2023 does not apply to approximately 40,000 households renting units new than 15 years. In these units rent can increase by any amount. There are reports of 20% to 50 % rent hikes. With so many people living on the edge, that is simply not affordable for most Oregon renters. It will result in high-rent homelessness.
The rate of evictions is increasing. This year Oregon is seeing over 2,000 evictions per month. Most evictions happen because someone is behind on their rent. It's time to take action to roll back the rent increases!
