Last Sunday on “Your Voice, Your Vote,” we highlighted a massive housing and homelessness package in the Oregon Legislature.

We heard from Democratic and Republican supporters and an opponent of the $200 million package. Since we aired that segment, the bipartisan bill has passed in both the Oregon House and Senate.

The package is made up of House Bills 2001 and 5019.

It funds Gov. Tina Kotek's homelessness state of emergency, which she declared on her first day in office back in January. The bill is now on her desk.

The housing package extends support to rural and coastal Oregon, increases shelter capacity, addresses youth homelessness, rapid rehousing efforts, and rental assistance, among other things.

Some of the money from the package will be distributed within weeks.

Kotek says she's deeply grateful for elected leaders on both sides of the aisle who supported the package.

The package moved through the House and Senate rapidly and passed with support from both Republicans and Democrats.

It appears to be quite a feat for both the governor and the Legislature, but what does it signal for the rest of the session?

KATU’s Barry Mangold discusses the passage of the package with Pacific University professor and political analyst Jim Moore in an extended interview.

Moore analyzes how big a victory the passage of the package was for Kotek and lawmakers,

He also discusses Oregon’s land use laws, which is partly tied to the housing shortage issue.

Lawmakers are also considering gun control bills. Moore discusses whether there is any hope for bipartisanship with those bills.
