Housing Affordability, Housing Livability, Housing First

HBA directly represents members across six counties and over forty local jurisdictions, advocating on issues that affect housing affordability and livability. With housing affordability continuing as one of the greatest challenges facing the Metro Portland area, our advocacy team is focused on building meaningful relationships with policy makers and community stakeholders to advance pro-housing solutions. Our goal is to serve as a proactive agent of change, facilitating housing affordability, availability and choice for all who reside in the Metro Portland area. 

To get involved in HBA’s advocacy and learn more, join the Government Affairs Committee, Portland Building and Urban Development Council, or contribute to our political action committee, Oregonians for Affordable Housing.
