Appoint Thomas Kemper and Brian Harvey to the Home Forward Board of Commissioners for terms to expire October 27, 2030

Document number: 2026-341
Introduced by: Mayor Keith Wilson
City department: Housing Bureau
Requested council date: October 28, 2026
Purpose and background: This legislation is proposed to allow Home Forward to appoint two Portland representatives, one of whom is a tenant representative, to vacant seats on their Board of Commissioners, which requires Portland City Council approval by resolution, per ORS 456.095 and ORS 456.100.
Financial and budgetary impacts: Not applicable.
Economic and real estate impacts: Home Forward manages and develops much of the city of Portland's affordable housing and if this seat is not filled it may have a negative impact on their decision-making abilities, which could delay projects.
Community impacts and community involvement: The nominees have been selected by Home Forward and approved by Mayor Wilson. The nominees and representatives from Home Forward will be available at Committee, and, as needed, at the full council hearing.
100% renewable goal: This action has no impact on the City's total or renewable energy use.
