Western Governors work to provide housing to residents displaced by wildfire

Across western states, wildfires have destroyed homes and uprooted communities in recent years. In response, Western Governors are working to provide their residents with stable, reliable, and attainable housing after wildfire disasters strike.  

“My administration is laser focused on our state’s housing crisis because we know that having safe, affordable housing is the foundation for Oregonians building healthy and full lives,” Oregon Governor Tina Kotek said. “Part of the solution must include permanent housing for Oregonians who lost their homes because of wildfires.”
