The Latest Stories For You From Salem Reporter
Good morning, Salem.
In the past five years, over 1,100 affordable apartments have been added to Salem. Last month, Sequoia Crossings added 60 units to the tally.
With each complex that opens comes reader questions about what “affordable” means, who funds the projects and how it fits into government priorities to address homelessness.
We’re planning to answer those questions in a multi-part series, starting here.
If you have any questions about affordable housing you’d like to see us address, email reporter Abbey McDonald at [email protected].
Here’s some of today’s news. You can always find our latest reports on our website.
