Oregon's governor wants to make a dent in the problem of finding affordable housing in the state. 

A big dent: Kate Brown proposes spending $100 Million to build low-cost housing around the state.

Executive Director Janet Byrd joins us with an update on the work so far, and how much a hundred million might help.
