Ensuring that every individual has access to a safe and affordable place to call home is a priority. Toward this goal, Laurie has increased the number of permanent housing units for community members transitioning off the streets. She has also provided vital assistance to hundreds of at risk neighbors, ensuring they remain in their homes. Laurie's committed to advocating tirelessly for increased state and federal funding to build more housing along with providing essential services needed to support people at every stage of life.

 

Laurie has shown her dedication to addressing our county’s housing crisis by:

• Securing over $100 million in federal and state resources to create new housing and help wild fire survivors rebuild their homes

• Opening our area's first public shelter.

• Collaborating with the county's Public Housing Authority, Homes for Good, to expand affordable housing options for Lane County residents
