Join us for Community Alliance of Tenants' Virtual Fundraiser! This year, our goal is to raise $300,000 to expand critical tenant support services across Oregon.
Join Community Alliance of Tenants with our partners at Legal Aid Services of Oregon & Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) for a free workshop in person to learn the latest in landlord-tenant law and how to protect yourself as a renter.
A bi-monthly renters’ rights series where the Tenant Protection Team discusses issues to keep you in-the-know with landlord-tenant law.

Which means, yes, that smell in the air is indeed Member Meeting just around the corner. SAVE THE DATE, OCTOBER 26TH. And this year, we are FINALLY back in person for our Annual Member Meeting after 4 years of virtual Member Meetings due to the pandemic. Our annual Member Meetings are a chance to vote new CAT Board Members, set the policy agenda for CAT, and gather with tenants across Oregon.
