Multnomah County is home to over 100,000 seniors, more than ever before, and our community offers very limited housing choices to our elderly. The Portland Housing wants your feedback about barriers facing seniors seeking housing in our community.

Commissioner Fish will join representatives from the Portland Housing Bureau and the Housing and Community Development Commission Tuesday from 1 to 3 pm at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center to hear your input.

They are particularly interested in your thoughts about the unique housing and service needs of the aging population, the needs of subgroups within the older community, and how the City can best serve our older residents.

Please join the Commissioner for this important meeting, which will affect the way federal dollars will be spent on housing for Multnomah County's aging population.
