Background

About Regina Amodeo

I believe in housing as a human right, and affordable housing is pivotal to ending homelessness. I work with a fantastic team to meet the current and anticipated needs of REACH CDC's expanding portfolio of affordable housing. As Manager of Compliance at REACH CDC, I oversee operational procedures including policies, training and databases to ensure we effectively and efficiently navigate the complex regulatory environment of affordable housing. This includes: LIHTC, HOME, HUD, HOPWA, CDBG, Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), Project-based Section 8, Fair Housing, and the City of Portland. I am a passionate advocate for creative and equitable solutions to ending the housing crisis in our region. With over 12 years of experience, I understand the challenges of balancing regulatory requirements with trauma-informed and low barrier approaches to housing that can improve access and outcomes for all. I am also active in emergency preparedness planning: as a certified member of the Montavilla Neighborhood Emergency Team and a member of work groups in mass care and shelter planning. One of my main goals is to plan for the needs of vulnerable populations in the event of a large-scale disaster.
