Show Notes
Portlands Home Forward, the primary affordable housing provider, faces scrutiny due to severe issues such as drug markets, high vacancy rates, and rising operating costs. Councilors are divided on solutions, with some advocating for accountability and lower rents, while others seek to understand market pressures. A significant unspent housing fund offers leverage, with rent buydowns being a hot topic. However, critics warn against bailouts and call for incentives to reduce vacancies.
