Homeownership is key to creating generational wealth, and a high priority for Oregonians. Yet only about 63% of Oregonians own a home, which is one of the lowest rates in the country. Oregon housing industry and nonprofit leaders are working together to address the problem by advancing a 2025 legislative agenda that focuses on homeownership. You’ll hear from coalition leaders about the government advocacy that’s crucial to improving homeownership in Oregon.
