Oregon senators Wyden and Merkley tout bills they argue will help families afford housing
“Sen. Wyden referred to a bill reintroduced earlier this year called the DASH Act. Among its goals, it would expand the production of affordable housing for low-income and middle-income families. Sen. Merkley brought up a bill he has championed that aims to ban hedge fund ownership of residential housing. ‘What this is about, and it’s real simple (is) making sure that folks have a roof over their head and a floor under their feet, and it is so basic as you get to these cold weather months,’ Sen. Wyden said.”
