W ith Housing

Portland
The U S Department of Housing
and Urban Development and the
Housing Authority of Portland to
day executed a renewable lease for
a single family acquired property at
a rate of $1 00 a year This home
will be used to provide shelter for
homeless families and represents
one more piece in the Portland
emergency assistance network
This action is a continuation of
the joint cooperation between the
federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development, the City of
Portland, and the Housing Autho
nty to provide both housing stock
and support services for homeless
individuals and families In execu
ting the lease for HUD, Portland
Manager Richard Brinck noted "Fa
rnihes with children are the fastest
growing segment of the homeless
population and that scarcity of af
fordable housing is the primary
cause of homelessness
This particular program being
used today was established by Hou
sing and Urban Development Secre
tary Pierce to use housing stock
available to the federal government
through the FHA mortgage msu
rance program Strict limits have
been placed on the housing provi
ded to assure that this activity will
in no way jeopardize the FHA mort
gage insurance fund This lease re
presents the first of an admittedly
small program but can provide
unique housing opportunities for
homeless families

" A SEED classroom is a highly
energized place." said Horace San

learn quickly that it’s fun to partici
pate. It’s exciting to watch class
participation rise as the class pro­
gresses especially when the kid
slumped in the back row joins in ,"
Sanders said
Math was chosen as a way of
reaching out because it transcends
language and cultural barriers
"Higher math is the great equal­
izer,” said Joseph Schmidt, Protect

When you are learning a new con
cept, such as exponentiation theory
