Rep. Andrea Salinas’ Statement Celebrating Bill to Lower Housing Costs and Expand Homeownership Opportunities

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today,Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06) released the following statement celebrating the passage of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

“When I talk with working families and young people trying to buy their first home, they tell me that homeownership feels out of reach. Even longtime residents never imagined they would be priced out of the communities they call home. Today's passage is good news for Oregon families. It brings the dream of homeownership one step closer to reality.

“Every Oregonian deserves a fair shot at homeownership, and this legislation takes practical steps to build more homes, preserve affordable housing, support veterans, modernize manufactured housing, and make it easier for communities to increase housing supply. While there’s still more work to do, this bill moves us in the right direction and helps ensure housing is treated as a place for families to live and build their futures, not just another Wall Street investment. I’ll keep fighting until every Oregonian can afford a place to call home.”
