Representative Court Boice Announces His Opposition to SB 603
Legislation to give some individuals $1,000 a month
SALEM, OR – Today, Representative Court Boice (R-Gold Beach) announced his position on SB 603, the legislation proposed by Senator Wlnsvey Campos (D-Aloha), which has caught the eye of several national media headlines.
Senate Bill 603 would give homeless or low-income individuals in Oregon $1,000 a month for two years. The program would have $25 million to work with, and enrollment would be capped once that money runs out.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, at least 18,000 individuals were homeless in a single night in Oregon in 2022.
“At a time when inflation is over 8 percent and a dozen eggs costs more than a gallon of gas, this $25 million is an additional burden Oregon taxpayers should not have to bear. One of the House Republicans’ priorities for the 2023 Legislative Session is fiscal responsibility, nothing about this proposed legislation is responsible,” stated Representative Boice (R-Gold Beach).
Oregon’s House District 1 includes Coos, Curry, and a portion of Douglas County.
