SUMMARY:Source of Income as a State Protected Class in Oregon
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\nOne of the most common concerns we hear both among people seeking housing and their housing advocates is that landlords don’t accept housing choice vouchers\, commonly known as Section 8 vouchers. In this half-hour seminar we will discuss what housing choice vouchers are\, how they fall under the protected class of Source of Income under Oregon Law\, and what the barriers are that people face in landlords complying with that law. Rental assistance programs\, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)\, SSI\, and SSDI will also be explored as protected under Source of Income. All are welcome to attend! \n  \nAbout the presenter:\n \nEliza Galaher\n(she/her)\nEducation & Outreach Specialist\nEliza Galaher is a resident of Columbia County and is honored to serve as an education and outreach specialist working with the North Coast region. Born and raised in Portland\, Eliza spent 26 years of her adulthood living in various parts of the country\, from New York City to New Mexico to western Massachusetts to Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, with a couple of other places tucked in between. In that time\, she worked in the worlds of publishing\, education\, and social services/caring services. \nWhile grateful for a rich and varied time away from Oregon\, she is happy to have landed back here where she now spends her free time working in her garden\, on her crafts\, and doing what she can to keep her dogs happy (while the cat sits and watches somewhat smugly).

SUMMARY:Fair Housing and Homebuying
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\nJoin us for a training for organizations who support individuals in the homebuying process. \nLearn about: \n\nFair Housing Basics and Protections\nHistory of Housing Discrimination\nRed Flags of Discrimination\nAnd more!\n\n\nAbout the Presenters:\n  \n \nMarlee Baker\n(she/her/hers)\nPortland Metro & Salem Education & Outreach Specialist \nMarlee has a Bachelor’s in Social Work (BSW) from George Fox University and previously interned at Just Compassion of East Washington County. At JC’s Resource Center\, she helped provide resources and support to unhoused adults. She firmly believes that houselessness and poverty are maintained by historical\, economic\, and social inequality\, and that housing is an urgent and basic human right for all individuals. As an intern at Just Compassion\, she worked in solidarity with houseless individuals to create short-term solutions to emergent and necessary needs. She believes that individualized service provision is imperative\, but the consistent stories she heard from individuals regarding eviction\, high-barrier housing\, and rising rent emphasized to her the need for larger\, more expansive community reform. She was drawn to FHCO because she wants to use education as a tool to empower local communities and citizens to protect their civil and basic human rights. \n  \n \nGina Rizk\n(she/her/hers)\nPortland Metro & Salem Education & Outreach Specialist \n Gina graduated from Portland State University with her Master of Education in 2020. She worked in the Portland Public School District for two years\, specifically working with schools that served traditionally marginalized students and their families. One of her primary goals while teaching was making sure all families had access to free extra-curricular enrichment\, especially arts education. After she made the difficult decision to leave her teaching post\, she knew she wanted to continue to focus her career on Social Justice and continue to serve the communities in Northeast Portland where she knew there was great need. During her time at PPS\, she saw firsthand the effects of unstable housing on students’ educational experiences and knew that advocating for fair housing would be the perfect way to continue to support those students and their families.
