Landslide closes Highway 101 in both directions

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

A section of U.S. Highway 101 remained closed as of Tuesday, Jan. 10, about 12 miles south of Port Orford after a landslide caused a collapse in the highway.

The landslide caused a roughly 200-yard segment of highway to drop as much as 12 feet in some spots. The Oregon Department of Transportation was working to keep the stretch of Highway 101 just south of Port Orford open when it started moving more significantly early Monday morning.

“Our crews were able to maintain a lane under gravel… but overnight the roadway had significant failure which resulted in a highway closure around 3 a.m. Monday morning,” reported Glen Pederson, ODOT interim District 7 manager.

“We understand the great impact this has on our local communities and want to ensure you we are working as quickly as we can to evaluate this site and set ourselves up to get the road open as soon as we can safely, even if under a single lane and gravel for a time,” Pederson reported.

“The strategy will be similar to what we implemented for the Hooskanaden Slide back in 2019,” he said.

With the current forecast, ODOT employees are hopeful to have a single lane under gravel open for emergency services within the next week, if it is safe to do so. The next step would be to continue to progress toward opening the road to the rest of traffic soon after, according to

Brookings Council swears in mayor, councilors

Former councilor

Brad Alcorn

joins county board of commissioners

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

The Brookings City Council met for the first time in 2023 on Monday, Jan. 9.

Newly elected council member Andy Martin took the oath and was sworn in by Municipal Court Judge Gary Milliman. Incumbents Mayor Ron Hedenskog and councilor Michelle Morosky were also sworn in and began their new term on the city council.

Last month, a newly appointed councilor, Isaac Hodges, joined the Brookings City Council as well. He replaced former city council member Brad Alcorn.

Alcorn left the Brookings City Council after being elected to the Curry County Board of Commissioners. Alcorn won the seat after a three-person race that ended in the November general election.

Curry County is governed by three elected commissioners, serving four year terms and together are the Board of Commissioners or commonly referred to as the "BOC."

Alcorn attended his first official meeting with the Board of Commissioners on Wednesday, Jan. 4.

He replaces Christopher Paasch, and joins Commissioner Court Boice and Commissioner John Herzog.

Sheriff reports surge in fatal drug overdoses

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

The Curry County Sheriff’s Office is reporting several fatal drug overdoses of suspected Fentanyl in the southern portion of the County.

There have been several instances where multiple people fatally overdose in the same residence, Sheriff John Ward reported in a press release on Jan. 6.

“The ‘Big City’ drug epidemic has made its way to Curry County,” reported Sheriff Ward.

Curry County Sheriff’s deputies have reportedly been responding to multiple overdoses every week. Often the person overdosing is administered Naloxone (commonly referred to as Narcan) prior to the arrival of EMS personnel.

Narcan can reverse the central nervous system depressant effects of an opioid or synthetic opioid –and potentially save someone from a fatal opioid overdose. The issue with Narcan is that it has a half-life (remains active in the body) for 30 to 80 minutes depending on the person and the amount of opiate or synthetic opiate they have ingested, the Sheriff said.

The Sheriff’s Office is receiving reports that it is taking several doses of Narcan to reverse an

overdose as of late, sometimes up to eight doses. If the person who is in active overdose does not seek immediate medical attention, it is possible that the Narcan can dissipate while there is still a fatal amount of opiate or synthetic opiate in the persons system, causing them to overdose again.

“The true number of overdoses we are experiencing is unknown because many go unreported due to fear of being arrested,” Ward stated.

The Curry County Sheriff’s Office is reminding the public that Oregon has a “Good Samaritan law” meaning if someone overdoses and you call for help, you cannot be arrested or prosecuted for

possessing drugs or drug paraphernalia, being in a place where drugs are used or sold, or parole/probation violation.

“The Curry County Sheriff’s Office prioritizes the preservation of life over any possible criminal investigation so please call for help,” Ward said.

Naloxone is provided for free by several organizations along with Fentanyl testing equipment. It is not required, but each Sheriff’s Office patrol deputy has an emergency supply of Narcan not only for administering to overdose victims, but also for self/buddy aid should they suffer an exposure to Fentanyl while on the job, according to the sheriff.

Sheriff Ward said the scope of the drug-related overdoses was unheard of prior to the passage of Measure 110. Since the passing of Measure 110, law enforcement throughout the county

“We are hoping this will

help reduce trucks and other travelers from continuing on to a closed section of road and minimizing impacts to travel,” Pederson said.

ODOT will continue to update the community as more information comes in.

Local emergency declared in Curry County

THE PILOT

The Curry County Board of Commissioners declared a state of emergency after a landslide caused a closure of Highway 101 between Port Orford and Ophir.

The Curry County BOC held an emergency meeting on Jan. 9 to declare the local emergency, siting impacts to the local economy, transportation impacts for those seeking medical care, and the diversion of all deliveries, including fuel, through Highway 199.

The proclamation also states that emergency services have been severely impacted due to limited access between the central and

northern portions of Curry County.

The emergency declaration reports that the extent and severity of the incident is beyond the resources and response capability of Curry County and all local resources have been utilized; and further that the potential damage, loss and risk of injury and death exceeds the capability of the County’s resource and response.

The emergency declaration requests that the governor of Oregon declare a state of emergency and provide assistance to Curry County through resources available through the state, and through the president of the United States, if needed.

Tribe awards $59K to Curry County nonprofits

NORTH BEND – The Coquille Indian Tribal Community Fund has awarded $59,338 in grants to nine organizations in Curry County.

grant, $19,338, goes to the Agness Illahe Rural Fire Protection District for a chest compression system.

have seen an unprecedented rise in drug use, drug related crimes, and drug related deaths, he said.

Fentanyl has taken over the drug market and has become the preferred drug over heroin. The last several seizures of heroin submitted to the State Crime Lab by CCSO have proven to be Fentanyl disguised as heroin. Fentanyl has been found to contaminate all other popular street and party drugs, including marijuana.

Fentanyl is cheap and easy to smuggle as it can be formed to look like anything. The ways Fentanyl can be disguised is limited only by the smuggler’s imagination.

It has been made to appear like frozen produce, sidewalk chalk, candy, over the counter medication and prescription medications.

“A common counterfeit prescription pill we have seen is what is known on the street as a ‘Dirty 30,’” Ward reported.

The Dirty 30 fentanyl is colored blue and pressed into the form of a legitimate 30 milligram oxycodone pill. Other counterfeit pills commonly seen are Xanax, Adderall, and Vicodin. It is estimated that 6 out of 10 counterfeit pills contain a lethal dose of Fentanyl.

Fentanyl has taken center stage due to its lethality, but the local law enforcement team reports they are experiencing an exponential rise in the use of all other street drugs as well.

“With that comes the rise of person, property, and public nuisance crimes such as harassment, trespassing, theft, and disorderly conduct,” Ward said.

While the use of street drugs has been decriminalized in Oregon, the sale of them has not. If you have information about persons importing or selling Fentanyl or other street drugs in Curry County, please reach out to the Curry County Detective Division at 541-247-3242 Ext 4. The caller’s name and information can be kept confidential at their request.

“It was humbling to see the list of grant recipients for our Community Fund grants this year,” Tribal Chairman Brenda Meade said. “The incredible amount of work happening by our non-profit organizations reminds us how lucky we are to live here in Southern Oregon. On behalf of the Coquille Tribe we feel honored to be able to support their hard work.”

The Community Fund awarded its 2023 grants to 121 organizations in Coos, Curry, Douglas Jackson and Lane counties. The $815,000 total nearly triples last year’s $280,000. The fund has distributed about $8.1 million since 2001.

The largest Curry County

The tribal fund accepts grant applications in the fall of each year. Learn more at www.coquilletribe.org, or call fund administrator Julia Willis at 541-756-0904, ext. 1254.

The Coquille Indian Tribe established its Community Fund to share the proceeds of The Mill Casino-Hotel with organizations that benefit southwestern Oregon residents.

The fund seeks to strengthen the community by improving opportunities and lives throughout the region.

Grants are awarded in seven areas of focus: education, public safety, arts and culture, environment, historic preservation, health, and problem gaming.

Curtis Damen

Gregory Curtis Damen, 76, of Brookings, died December 7, 2022, in the warmth of his home and surrounded by his music. He was born September 19, 1946, to William Rees Jr. and Margaret Mary Eck Rees.

Adopted by Leland Louis Seghetti of Vallejo, California, following the marriage of Margaret and Leland in 1956. The family moved to and built their first family home in La Mirada, California area where Leland continued his engineering career. It is here that Greg became a big brother to his first sister.

In 1959, the growing family returned to York, Pennsylvania, just in time to welcome Greg's youngest sister.

Greg graduated from York Catholic High School, May 29, 1964, York, Pennsylvania with many scholastic awards including National Honor Society. While a student he broadened his natural love of music by playing clarinet, bass cello, guitar, and drums. He played in the high school marching band, dance band, and orchestra. He sang and performed in the choir and school operetta and performed in school plays. In his Senior year, he directed the band and lead the dance band. At 6'-4" he was a welcome addition to their intramural basketball and volleyball teams, but, his adoration for all aspects of music and stage productions would guide him, his entire life.

in the lives of all his beloved cousins and his younger sisters living in Pennsylvania. So, he began his first cross-country trip home.

In 1964 the family moved to St. Louis, Missouri where Leland would work on the Gemini Project.

Greg earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Psychology from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, May 26, 1972. It is here that he met the love of his life: a relationship that could not sustain each's personal growth, her world travel, and political polarization of the time.

Moving west, Greg lived in Reno and Las Vegas, NV, working for Vari Lite as their Lighting Director and Manager. During his career, he enjoyed working directly with all performers who appeared in Reno and on the Las Vegas strip, including, for many years, at MGM Grand.

Earning his rank of Eagle Scout, the highest achievement attainable in the Boy Scouts of America, Greg went on to begin his college adventure at the University of Washington in Seattle.

As the second oldest of 22 grandchildren of Jules J. and Mary Catherine McCall Eck, York, Pennsylvania, Greg found Washington state too far from home to remain active and present

Having achieved all his professional goals, Greg moved on to travel the States. He moved to Brookings, Oregon, to be at the coast. He earned his CDL and logged many miles for several years.

Greg retired in Brookings, at its coastline, living out his retirement years. He would return to New England to visit cousins, classmates, and family. He continued to enjoy his extensive music, coin and stamp collections

and a simple life.

Letters to the editor

Stop this scourge

Two persons passed yesterday in Brookings; both from a drug related overdose. Perhaps this isn't a concern to the community at large - the one presented in city council meetings, the persons that vote.

However, the undercurrent of drug abuse by homeless people is not an issue that should be ignored. The two people that died in the early morning hours of January 5: a male and female victim of not just their addiction to methamphetamine, but fentanyl poisoning.

The poison is loose in Brookings. Someone should take note, and give the less fortunate folk of your community fair warning of what they are up against. It would be immoral to just let this happen to people that have severe mental health and drug abuse issues. Their lives matter too.

I learned of these deaths from an unrelated person who lost their child. Honor their grief by warning of the true threat that now exists. More people will die if nothing is done. Try to get the word out. Please.

I didn't know what else to do but contact you. Brookings is beautiful but needs to get real about real issues.

It doesn't affect you til it affects your own- but everyone in Brookings should claim their townshipand be able to do so with pride.

If for no other reason than caring about the community, as a whole.

Thank you for your attention concerning this matter.

Ms. Walker Brookings

What's up with Janell Howard?

My first question is why did the Pilot not have the story on Janell Howard's court case? I found out the outcome from Lost Coast Outpost, an online publication, last week. Did the City of Brookings have anything to do with the silence? Do we really have a free press in Brookings?

Here's the story: Janell Howard

pleaded no contest to a reduced charge and had to pay a $500 fine and $15.98 in restitution to Fred Meyers. In other words, she is a crook, but to a lesser degree. It's semantics.

Does the reduced charge mean she can be trusted to handle millions of our hard earned tax dollars? I would say, no. She has still violated the public trust and should not be rehired by the city. I believe the investigation ordered by the city bears that out. As I remember, the Pilot reported that Councilor Morosky described the investigative report into Ms. Howard as "Harsh." But, the way Mayor Hedenskog and others have been covering for Ms. Howard brings other questions to my mind. It would be nice if the report, or at least part of it, was released to the public. It's our money. And for the $150 thousand a year or so salary she's being paid - we deserve better.

So, what's up with Janell Howard? Where's the news?

Ann Williams Brookings

Opinion: It’s Time for Men to ‘Man Up’

By ROBERT PAWLICKI InsideSources.com

To “Man up” means to “demonstrate toughness or courage when faced with a difficult situation.”

That’s precisely what men need to do. Face up to a changing world and redefine what it is to be a man.

In his recent book “Of Boys and Men,” Brookings Institution scholar Richard V. Reeves details how American men face a crisis of enormous proportions. The evidence is abundant.

Three of every four who die of suicide or drug overdoses, “deaths of despair,” are men. Men face a widening gap in higher education and a diminishing portion of the labor market. Women now constitute nearly 60 percent of university students and, more telling, graduate at 50 percent, while men complete their college education at a disappointing 33 percent. At every level, high school, associate degree, fouryear and post-graduate level, men graduate at a lower percentage than women.

Women, freed from former societal constraints, show greater ambition, motivation and initiative. Opportunities are more gender-neutral, and women are stepping up to the full range of positions while many men are not. They appear stuck in antiquated stereotypes.

Men are taught to withhold their emotions, stoically tolerate pain, and be tough on the outside. It’s been a bar that measures manhood. It’s an outdated measure in a society where women have advanced into new fields while men seem adrift, unable to see the full range

of possibilities.

“Make America great again,” attractive to a wide swath of American men, can be seen as a wish to return to the male dominance of the past. The expansion and growth of women’s roles have left many men uneasy. Legislation against transgender people, sex-neutral bathrooms in our public schools, violence against gays, and the growth of militia groups reflect men unhappy with changing gender definitions.

Historically, masculinity has been built on three pillars: provide, protect and procreate. When families are smaller, the conventional picture of a male is a thing of the past. When women come to compete or outproduce men economically, the traditional definition of manhood is obsolete. When male protection is rarely needed, the definition of maleness is outmoded.

Jobs dominated by men just two or three decades ago are now open to both sexes. Women entering virtually every occupation during the last 50 years support that fact.

Veterinarians, pharmacists, psychologists and physicians are among the most high-profile careers, and the tip of the iceberg of women’s infusion into previously male-dominated professions.

Meanwhile, elementary school teachers, airline stewards and nurses are in demand, with solid-paying careers that many men refuse to enter because of masculine stereotypes. It’s not because of a lack of male capability but because men fear the stigma of femininity. We have endured centuries pro-

hibiting women from fulfilling their talents because of prejudice against their gender. Now men limit their opportunities because of self-inflicted attitudes — beliefs that it’s not manly to show empathy, caring and emotional vulnerability. Such characteristics are plentiful among men, but we need to accept them as qualities of strong, wholly masculine men.

“Man up” today still means demonstrating toughness or courage when faced with a difficult situation. But today’s difficult situation is to abandon outdated stereotypes and for men to embrace and employ all their healthy qualities. It is time for men to break the shackles of a narrow definition of masculinity that confines their emotions and even limits their longevity. Women are living, on average, about six years longer than men.

In less than 100 years, women in most Western societies have expanded their nations’ culture, science and leadership, with talents suppressed for centuries. We can’t put women’s gains back in the bottle. Nor should we want to. We’re the better for it.

Wake up, men. It’s time to recognize that expanding the definition of manliness to include empathy, caring and emotional vulnerability will make us healthier and ultimately stronger.

Opinion: Americans Deserve a Safe, Secure Postal System

By ROSS MARCHAND InsideSources.com

When the “flag goes down” and the mailman whisks away a letter, consumers expect it to arrive safely and relatively quickly at its destination. Unfortunately, a rash of robberies has exposed serious shortcomings in postal security.

Over the last four years, 3,000 mail carriers have been attacked and 200 “arrow keys” (to access collection boxes, cluster box units, etc.) have been stolen.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., recently accused the agency of allowing employees or contractors to steal $20,000 in mailed campaign contributions. These trends and troubling accusations don’t bode well for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), which is tasked with maintaining a safe delivery system. Postal leadership and Congress must ensure that the USPIS is doing all it can to bring mail thieves to justice.

USPIS has an expansive mandate and receives $500 million yearly in taxpayer money to secure the mail. There needs to be a more

substantial sum to ensure smooth operations. According to a 2021 inspector general audit of the USPIS’ Washington division, “postal inspectors did not attach required field notes for 14 of 40 cases (35 percent)” examined during the 2020 fiscal year.

This is a significant omission because “when postal inspectors are not adequately documenting investigative activities through field notes, they risk relying on alternative documentation when testifying to recall events that occurred months or, sometimes, years ago, which could affect their testimony (during court proceedings).” Additionally, half of all cases lacked the required electronic communications necessary to keep national headquarters in the loop about field investigations.

Even these communications wouldn’t be enough to get the USPIS back on track. Serious mission creep seems to plague the agency’s investigators. According to the inspector general, about a third of USPIS’ investigative activities “do not directly support protection of Postal Service assets, Postal Service

employees, or the mail system.”

In April 2021, Yahoo News reported that the service runs an investigation unit known as the Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP; since renamed the “Analytics Team”) that spies on Americans via social media. Yahoo noted, “The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as ‘inflammatory’ postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.”

Congress showed little interest in investigating this grave misconduct. It is hoped the new Congress can make things right and demand accountability.

One solution could be postal leadership doing a better job sanctioning employees who fail to keep track and report missing keys right away. Facilities could also reduce the number of stray keys and, in the long run, adopt keyless technologies such as electronic keypads and fingerprint readers.

LOCATED AT 981 H STREET, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 223 DEL MONTE ST, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $161,140.89 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-

sidering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 104128-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 104128-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate profes-

sional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. FOR SALES INFORMATION: (844) 477-7869 CLEAR RECON CORP 8880 Rio San Diego Drive, Suite 725 San Diego, California 92108 Published: January 13, 20, and 27, 2023 Del Norte Triplicate T356416

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 101422-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First,

48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp. com, using the file number assigned to this case 101422-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.

Home Share Oregon announces bill aimed to increase access to affordable housing

Home Share Oregon recently announced a bold initiative to expand access to affordable housing for middle – lower income Oregonians by actually cutting taxes.

Home Share for All is simple. If a home is owner-occupied, and that homeowner agrees to rent a spare bedroom for $1,000 per month or less, long term, they are absolved from the state income tax liability on the additional, earned income.

“The lack of access to affordable housing has become a humanitarian crisis.

At Home Share Oregon, over 800 homeowners have signed up to rent a spare bedroom for an average cost of $735 per month. This reduces the need for 800 apartments and is affordable for many people who would otherwise be at risk of displacement. Currently, there are 1.5 million owner occupied homes with a vacant bedroom—a 2 percent penetration would house

30,000 people affordably with no new infrastructure.

Incentivizing homeowners to rent vacant rooms is the most cost-effective thing we can do and is just common sense,” said Tess Fields, Executive Director.

Homer Williams, Home Share Oregon founder explained, “We are in a crisis, and we need to be innovative. We cannot just build our way out of this problem. We need to complement our strategies to increase housing infrastructure by maximizing the housing stock currently available.”

Home Share Oregon is a non-profit organization designed to increase access to affordable housing through the home share model. We envision a world in which every person has a clean, safe home, a world where home sharing is normalized as a lifestyle preference, and homelessness is uprooted.
