On March 2nd I had the pleasure of joining Sally Yee on a Two-Way-Street Tour (TWST). The meeting was a collaboration between MMT and the Black United Fund of Oregon and was hosted at Portland Housing Center’s offices in Northeast Portland. (See the photo below of Michelle Puggarana, PHC’s Director of Homeownership Programs, standing in front of their fabulous mural.)
