Oregon: Taxpayer Funded $30,000 Homebuyer Grants, “Only for People Who Are Not American Citizens”
August 25th, 2024Via: Daily Mail:
Oregonians have reacted angrily to a taxpayer-funded scheme that doles out $30,000 for non-legal migrants to buy homes, but excludes US citizens.
Hacienda Community Development Corporation, a Latino-led group in Portland, says in a promotion that it will give first-time home buyers up to $30,000 to get on the property ladder.
But there’s a catch, the advert adds.
The scheme is ‘only for people who are not American citizens.’
It is instead open to refugees, asylum seekers, Green Card holders, and those who arrived in the US illegally as children, the post says.
…
Hacienda is in-part funded through the EEIP, which was created through Oregon’s Economic Equity Investment Act of 2022.
It receives millions of dollars from Oregon state taxes and also from federal taxes through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The EEIP received $15 million at launch and was allocated another $8 million this year.
