Thread: Oregon provides Subsidized To Illegal Aliens

This is washington county- where Hillisboro Oregon exists and where many illegal aliens live and committ crimes.

According to Washington County- people who don't speak english but speak Spanish are "People with Special needs"Serving People with Special Needs

The DHS recognizes the importance of serving people with special housing needs, including:

The elderly
Persons with disabilities
People who don't speak English
Victims of domestic violence
Those who are homeless or at immediate risk of becoming homeless
The DHS partners with other agencies to provide housing and services to these special populations and has received numerous awards for the programs it has developed.

One award-winning program available through the DHS is the PODER program. PODER (pronounced poe-DARE and means "power" in Spanish) is operated in partnership with the Oregon Child Development Coalition, and helps non-English speaking DHS clients learn English in order to become more independent. PODER involves parents and children in classes two nights a week, nine months a year. As families improve their English language skills, the adults find it much easier to get better jobs and become self-supporting, and the children do better in school.

Because of its effectiveness, PODER has received awards from the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) and the National Association of Counties (NACO) for innovation in providing services to clients.

HOME Investment Partnerships

The Federally-funded HOME Program began in 1992 with the purpose of providing funds for low-income housing. This could be the construction or rehabilitation of affordable rental properties or even houses made available to lower income first-time home-buyers.

Low interest loans are provided by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) based on population and need. Funds are provided to community partners--most often non-profits--that are interested in providing this most valuable service to the community. Often interest is deferred for the first few years of the loan.


I have highlighted just one apartment biulding: Bonita Villa- which is almost all illegal aliens and their anchor babies- I know of latino drug dealers living there- the phone messgage is in spanish and the street signs in front of it are bi-lingual, unheard of for oregon. The police are there all the time- It is a felony to rent to illegal aliens , yet here Washington County is doing so- in the meantime many american citizens are homeless in ORegon and cannot find affordable housing. the waiting list is something like 8,000 for washington county alone. It is an outrage that Illegal aliens are catered to and alllowed to live in tax-payer subsidized housing.

Offering More Affordable Housing

The Department of Housing Services (DHS) is committed to increasing the supply of affordable housing through partnerships with private for-profit developers as well as non-profit developers of low-income housing. The role of the DHS is different for different developments. In some cases, the DHS acquires federal funding; in others, the DHS issues bonds or acquires private loans for the purchase of an existing property or for new construction.
