Many have contacted our office with the same fears for April 1st- rent day. Today, City Council signed a letter with an urgent call for action: Forgive all rent and mortgage payments for renters and businesses whose income or expenses have been substantially impacted by COVID-19 
We strongly urge our State and Federal Elected Officials to prioritize rent and mortgage payment forgiveness for all Oregonians as soon as possible.
Moving through this crisis is a marathon, not a sprint, and we need to have measures in place help Portlanders weather the storm so we are better off during the recovery period. We are in this together. #WeGotThisPDX #pdxCOVID19
There are countless gears turning as the City, County, State, and Federal Government work together to stop the spread of COVID-19, here are a few things that are being done locally that our office has frequently gotten questions about:
1) The City has deployed dozens of hygiene stations around Portland along with sixteen portable toilets. beta.portland.gov/pbem/emergency…
2) Portland Parks and Recreation has ordered 54 Park bathrooms across the City to remain open during this emergency. beta.portland.gov/pbem/emergency…
