Housing Is For Everyone.
HIFE was formed in April 2013 as a network of individuals and organizations committed to carrying out the work of Housing Justice in Portland Oregon. Many of the members of HIFE are longtime social justice activists others have joined housing justice work in the last two years of struggle for housing in Portland. Over the last six months Neighborhood Committees went into the community and canvassed door to door. Thousands of Portland residents were engaged in a conversation about Housing Justice. At the same time, Community Patrols on public transit asked riders what Housing Justice means to them. From those discussions we announce our commitment to three basic principles: 1) Everyone has a right to shelter that is safe and livable – Housing is a Human Right 2) Keep people in their homes – stopping foreclosure, unjust evictions 3) No more empty homes – there are more than enough houses and apartments for everyone but living spaces are left empty while people go without shelter. Now: We are here to make the above agreements a reality in our city. We will unite with other organizations and individuals to accomplish this work collectively. We call on all supporters and allies of housing justice to join with us to take action until Housing Is For Everyone!
