HB 2698 is a crucial bill aimed at establishing a statewide homeownership goal in Oregon, and it’s gaining momentum! With Oregon’s homeownership rate at just 64%—ranking 43rd in the nation—this bill takes an essential step toward ensuring more equitable access to homeownership. By requiring the state to track and analyze homeownership rates by race and ethnicity, HB 2698 will help identify disparities and work toward closing the homeownership gap. However, some legislators believe the bill isn’t action-oriented enough, which is why we need advocates like you to speak up and highlight the importance of tracking homeownership data. Your voice matters! Join us for Lobby Day in Salem, OR, on March 4th to show your support and help push this bill forward. Register today and be part of the movement to make homeownership accessible to all!
