The housing crisis in America demands local and national solutions (“Who Can Afford To Live In Those Apartments?” Letters, 5/20). The American Relief Act was a start, but more is needed. Right now the Housing Voucher Program reaches only 25 percent of those who qualify, millions are left without hope. Congress is more likely to fully fund this and other housing initiatives if they hear from us. With the inequities like housing exposed by the pandemic, it is time to turn things around, putting America on the road to equity. So take a few moments to ask your members of Congress (202-224-3121) to take action. Together we can make a difference.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
