<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">About This Webinar:<br>
The lack of housing, particularly affordable housing, is a pressing issue nationwide. Many don’t realize that rehabilitated historic buildings can be a critical part of the solution, especially when policies and funding primarily prioritize new construction
approaches. Join the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) as they discuss the role of historic preservation in addressing America’s housing crisis. ACHP Chair, Sara Bronin, will introduce
the newly developed Housing and Historic Preservation Policy Statement, which will serve as a guide for public and private entities seeking to harmonize historic preservation and housing goals. Adrian Scott Fine, President of the Los Angeles Conservancy and
NAPC CAMP Trainer, will break down this big picture issue from a local and statewide perspective and how preservation efforts are playing out in a variety of ways. NAPC’s Board of Directors Chair, Abigail Christman, will join in to provide some background
on NAPC and the new Messaging Guide for Local Preservation Programs. Learn how you can effectively convey the important connection between housing and historic preservation through messaging and outreach.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">On November 17, 2023, OHS hosted the launch for volume 2 of
<i>Voices of the River</i>, a journal published by Confluence. <i>Voices of the River</i> explores the Columbia River system’s history, living cultures, and ecology through Indigenous voices. Volume 2’s theme — The Legacy of Dams and the Return of the Salmon
— invited meditation on questions such as: What is the legacy of damming the Columbia? What benefits would come from restoring salmon populations to the Columbia and reviving the health of the river?<br>
<br>
Confluence has now released a <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/fe3hqm/jtxycc/vilzosc">
podcast episode</a> edited from the program’s discussion with David G. Lewis, who served as lead editor of the volume, Chanti Maņon, an artist who created the volume’s cover and other design elements, and Lily Hart, Managing Editor of the volume and Confluence
staff member; the conversation was facilitated by OHS Chief Program Officer Eliza E. Canty-Jones<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">In January and February of 2024, Travel Oregon fielded a statewide survey that measured resident perceptions of tourism impacts and support for tourism in their community. Thanks largely to the support of our
partners throughout the state, we succeeded in garnering 6,864 responses, more than 6x the response total from the last iteration of this study.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">These responses were collected with representation from all 36 Oregon counties to facilitate a statewide and regional approach that could further be analyzed at the local level. Overall, our findings suggest
that residents in Oregon perceive that the benefits of tourism currently outweigh the drawbacks. You can dive into the results by viewing our report on statewide and regional findings or by visiting our interactive dashboard in which you can filter results
at the regional and county level. Access both resources on the <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/hljxfo/pv851c/10s6nvd">
