Portland, Gresham, and Multnomah County invite you to participate in 7 community meetings in October, November, and December 2009.

Your comments will help us set priorities for the 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan. The Plan will guide how federal resources will be spent locally for the next five years on housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households, expanding access to economic opportunities, and programs serving the homeless and people with special needs.
