As part of FHCO’s strategic planning process, it became apparent that to effectively further our mission to end housing discrimination throughout the state, having part time staff embedded at partner agencies is an effective strategy. As part of her role for FHCO, Michelle works in Southern Oregon to educate housing consumers, advocates, and housing providers about Fair Housing law.
