Portland Communities Working Together to Close the Minority Homeownership Gap
 

Mother and DaughterFour working groups have been set up to help create strategies that will impact the way Portland makes room for diversity in its neighborhoods. These four groups are not mutually exclusive and an overlap of strategies and content may occur. The membership of these committees, which include community members, realtors, public employees, non-profit employees, and many others, will determine how to delineate the differences between the working groups as well as how to best work together on cross-over issues.

Operation HOME Content Committees include:

Outreach and Marketing

Education and Counseling

Loan Process and Underwriting

Affordability and Wealth Creation

Here is a more complete list of committees, the charge for each and work scheduled plus the lead contact for each.
