It's a way for agencies to say that they are promoting housing for low income people. affordable housing as a term, is misleading. it is not to BE confused with LOW INCOME HOUSING. 00:24:21 Marsh Santoro: Marsh Santoro, Fairview,Oregon 00:25:18 Kerri Hill: multiple funding streams + allowing for quick, easy, frequent public extra donations is the way!
