we are the community alliance of tenants

CAT is a membership organization for tenants, by tenants. Low-income tenants – predominantly low-wage workers, families with children, people living with disabilities, seniors, and people of color – are our primary membership base. We are building a strong housing justice movement that is led and directed by those who are most impacted by Oregon’s affordable housing crisis – low-income renters.
