Bill > SB229

This bill directs the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department (OHCS) to distribute $1 million in funding to Bridge Meadows, a nonprofit organization that develops multigenerational housing, for three specific purposes: expanding their housing model statewide, developing and constructing new housing units, and covering administrative costs related to their expansion. The department is required to oversee the use of these funds to ensure they are spent only for the specified purposes and must submit annual reports to the state legislative housing committees for five consecutive years, detailing the progress and impact of the funding. The bill includes a sunset provision that will automatically repeal these provisions on January 2, 2031, effectively creating a time-limited program to support Bridge Meadows' multigenerational housing model, which typically brings together foster youth, adoptive families, and senior citizens in a supportive community living arrangement.
