(Woodburn, OR) -- Governor Tina Kotek is signing six bills into law aimed at increasing affordable housing. Kotek signed off on the bills yesterday. The governor says one bill will prevent private equity firms from buying houses unless they're on the market for over 90 days. The other bills allow expansion of the urban growth boundary for affordable housing developments, make it faster to get permits, and help cities pay for infrastructure. Kotek's goal is to add 50-thousand affordable housing units. Since she became governor, 17-thousand units have been built.
