REDMOND, OR — U.Senator Jeff Merkley held a Town Hall in Redmond Saturday at Ridgeview High School. Among the audience questions on student debt, river restoration, and Veterans’ services, he also touched on affordable housing. “The cost of buying homes, the cost of renting homes, homelessness…And so we have an $8 billion increase in the overall funding for housing, but it’s not enough.” The senator told KBND News he will be reintroducing a bill this summer, the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act.
