Line 124:
"Moreover, the EITC is an invisible subsidy. Just as it works now, landlords would not know whether would-be renters are receiving any EITC benefits, including the housing supplement. It could thus have the effect of reducing discrimination against low-income households with subsidies."

Oregon Center for Public Policy released a study on September 23, 2019, called "A State Rent Assistance Program Would Strengthen Oregon Communities." [see Hauser &&nbsp;Ordóñez 2019].&nbsp;
 
&nbsp;
 
The idea was supported by Multnomah County Commissioner for District 2 (N and NE Portland), Susheela Jayapal in a Nov 3, 2019 editorial in&nbsp;''The Oregonian,&nbsp;''"Opinion: It’s time for a statewide rental voucher program." The Oregonian. Nov 03, 2019.&nbsp; [see Jayapal 2019].&nbsp;
<blockquote>
''"It’s time for a statewide rental voucher program.''
 
''"For decades, the federal government played a crucial role in preventing homelessness. Federal rent vouchers helped make housing affordable by subsidizing rents for people who would otherwise not have been able to afford it. This approach worked. Studies show federal rent vouchers help seniors, families with children and people with disabilities stay housed.Unfortunately, over the past few decades, the federal government has shirked this responsibility. The wait list for federal vouchers in Multnomah County is thousands of people long. In addition, the wait to get into public housing is at least two years and can be more than 10 years."''
 
''"National studies continue to show that long-term rent vouchers are the quickest, most effective way to keep people housed and out of that downward spiral."''
 
''"And a voucher program is something we can act on right now, while we also pursue other important strategies that might take several years to bear fruit — like building more affordable apartments."''
