RURALHOUSINGlogo.jpg?itok=XAGnMtupStreet Roots' Housing Rural Oregon series, made possible with funding from Meyer Memorial Trust’s Affordable Housing Initiative, is dedicated to reporting on rural housing issues. The goal is to broaden our views around housing policy to promote better understanding of the issues communities face across the state. We also intend to highlight the common ground that we all share, and the solutions we can all get behind.
