HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE FAIR HOUSING COUNCIL?
Guest Blogger: Jo Becker, Education/Outreach Specialist, Fair Housing Council of Oregon
Who is the Fair Housing Council (FHCO)?
We are a private nonprofit organization. We promote equal access to housing by providing education, outreach, technical assistance, and access to enforcement related to federal, state, and local fair housing laws.
We are not a government agency, although we receive some of our funding from federal, state, and local jurisdictions. We are not a housing authority and do not administer Section 8 or other housing assistance programs. We are not a housing provider and do not have units available for rent or for sale; nor do we have shelter services or provide crisis housing.
What is the Fair Housing Council’s Service Area?
We serve the entire state of Oregon and Clark County, Washington.
What is the History of the FHCO?
The FHCO was founded in 1990 as the first, and only, organization dedicated solely to furthering and enforcing the Fair Housing Act’s protections across Oregon.
What Services Does the Fair Housing Council offer?
Through comprehensive community education and individual counseling, the Fair Housing Council works to eliminate housing discrimination across Oregon and SW Washington and to guarantee the rights of all people to freely chose housing in the area they desire to live and for which they are financially qualified. Services provided by the Fair Housing Council include access to fair housing enforcement, and education and outreach about federal, state, and local fair housing laws.
How can I contact the Fair Housing Council?
Anyone with a fair housing question may contact us at:
The Fair Housing Hotline
503/223-8197 Ext. 2
800/424-3247 Ext. 2 (outside Portland metro area), or
information@FHCO.org
http://www.fhco.org/
This is a toll-free call and there is no fee associated with the Hotline service, nor is there any income qualification for Hotline assistance. If a staff member is not immediately available to assist by phone, please leave a message and your call with be returned as soon as possible.
Does the Fair Housing Council offer assistance in languages other than English?
Yes, for any languages we can’t accommodate with bilingual staff, we utilize the services of a three-way translation service over the phone or other translation service that makes over 160 languages available to us. Historically, 4% of the calls to our Fair Housing Hotline have come from non-English speakers.
Does the Fair Housing Council offer assistance to those with limited vision or hearing abilities?
Yes, our Fair Housing Hotline staff can assist callers with a hearing impairment. In addition, upon request, we can provide literature and materials in Braille.
Does the Fair Housing Council offer further accommodations?
Yes. If you need assistance utilizing our services (the Hotline, our website, our literature, the classes we offer, etc.) based on a physical or mental disability, please let us know how we can be of help.
Who Governs the Fair Council?
The Fair Housing Council is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, which establishes and oversees all policies. The background of the Board is broad and diverse providing guidance and perspective from attorneys, leaders in the real estate industry and varied housing providers, business professionals, and individuals from the nonprofit sector. Get to know our Board at www.FHCO.org/bod.htm. You can also get to know our staff better at www.FHCO.org/staff.htm and read our mission at www.FHCO.org/mission.htm.

Can You Help the Local Community D.A.R.E. Program?
Guest Blogger: Amy Clark
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m reaching out to you today to help our local community D.A.R.E. program.
The primary goal of D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance & Education) is to prevent the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs in the lives of our youth. This is a voluntary program supported by donations from individuals and businesses. Donations for the D.A.R.E. program are tax deductible under IRC section 170 (c) (1) – a donation letter can be provided for your tax write off purposes and donors are recognized in the community D.A.R.E. publications.
The program brings a D.A.R.E. officer and education materials into 5th grade classrooms once a week for 3 months. Students actively participate in class and take a stand against drugs and violence. This is such a critical age of influence and decision making for our youth. The old adage ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ is very true in this day and age when you look at what challenges our kids are facing.
The 2011 Fund Raising Drive needs a total of $10,068.00 for supplies that include workbooks, bumper stickers, Graduation t-shirts, Awards and Medallions.
I’d like to personally ask you to please sponsor this valuable program today by making a donation of ANY amount. Make your check payable to the “Salem Police D.A.R.E.” and mail to:
Officer Craig Seibel, D.A.R.E.
Salem Police Department
555 Liberty St. SE
Salem OR 97301

Got a Yard? Got Clients With a Yard? Plant Sale This Weekend!!
Guest Blogger: Valerie Boen
An Exclusive 2-day Sale of Nursery Stock, Plants, flowers and Sod at Wholesale Prices
* Why is this important to builders? All of the materials you need to landscape a yard will be in one location. The prices will be cheaper than you can find anywhere. All of our inventory is donated, so we are really selling everything at wholesale prices. Our main contributor is the wholesale outfit that supplies trees and shrubs to Lowe's and Fred Meyer. And they will be available to you at the same prices that these large chains pay for them.
Our Inventory will include lace leaf maple trees, arborvitae and boxwoods, among many other varieties of nursery stock and flowers.
* Who has ever bought a new lawn at a plant sale? For the first time Willamette Turf Inc. a locally owned turf company out of Brooks, OR is offering an unbelievable deal on sod.
You may purchase up to 1000sqft of sod at 15 cents per square foot. You have up to one year to make arrangements with Willamette Turf for pick up or delivery of your sod. You may purchase additional sod at 28 cents per square foot, which would be their normal wholesale price. This is a screaming deal! Willamette Turf Inc will donate back the majority of the each sale to our fundraiser. Click the link below to learn more about their products.
Plant Sale is located on the corner of C Street and N Water Street in Silverton (in front of Subway)
Fundraiser is to benefit St. Paul Church Youth Group
Friday June 3rd 4pm-9pm
Saturday June 4th 9am-6pm
Come with your trailer or truck. I don't want any plants left when we are done! Last year I had 30 arborvitae, 15 Otto Lukens (hedge), 3 large evergreen trees, and various other plants left over. I gave them all to one builder for $100 just to get my lot cleaned.
Contact: Valerie Boen 503-871-1667 if you have questions, or to order sod in the event you can't attend the sale

• Realtors

Everyone deserves access to homeownership, and focusing on first-time homebuyers is a great source of business for lenders and realtors. Sometimes a slight drop in the monthly house payment is all an individual needs to qualify to purchase their first home.

Join other local attendees to:
• Learn about the Neighborhood Stabilization Program funding and how it can help stabilize housing in your community
• Hear an update on the current state of homeownership in your area
• Learn about available down payment assistance programs that can help you qualify first-time homebuyers
• Share your challenges and successes in helping homebuyers become homeowners
• Discover the resources offered by your local housing center and how you can collaborate with them to increase homeownership
• Receive an update on foreclosures in Oregon and how you can assist distressed borrowers
There is no charge for participation in the forums, and they include a breakfast or lunch; however, space is limited and registration is required.
