Councilmember Fieldman welcomed Ms. Salazar in her new role as the Director at OHCS. He is
excited to work with her and utilize her broad experience in Housing finance and services.

housing the homeless. She likes the idea of looking at the two sides of homelessness, keeping
people from becoming homeless and helping individuals get out of homelessness.

Councilmember Koza gave Ms. Salazar a “big ole Eastern Oregon” welcome.
