We're an open book
We’re committed to investing bond funds transparently, accountably and with meaningful input and buy-in from the people of Portland. As affordable housing investments advance, we’ll report news and ask for ideas and feedback regularly online, at public meetings and in front of public boards and committees.
The Bond Oversight Committee is central to this process. A five-member independent oversight committee, their role is to monitor progress, review finances, and hold us accountable to the community-created plans and values we have committed to uphold. In addition to regular public meetings and expenditure reviews, the Bond Oversight Committee provides annual reports to City Council and the public.
