Join other Section 8 renters to share your stories and experiences about renting with a housing choice voucher, decide what changes to the system we need to see, and start making plans to win them.  This assembly is ONLY for Section 8 tenants.  No Home Forward employees will be present, and all tenant testimony will be confidential.  

There will be food, child care, and a short "Know Your Rights" workshop.  Space is wheelchair and transit-accessible via the MAX Green Line and TriMet bus lines 15 and 20.  Please RSVP by emailing info@pdxtu.org or messaging PTU through the Facebook event.

The Rental Services Commission is the City's main advisory body for landlord-tenant policy.  Come share your stories and make sure tenant voices are heard!
