Page 10, Portland Observer, July 27, 1988 HUD’s community commitment... If s working in your neighborhood. Ai “The six HUD jobs I’ve com pleted during the past year have helped my business enough that I was able to add a fifth employee. HUD handles repair bids fairly, and th eir equal opportunity policy really works." — Calvin Jackson, contractor "Last year I helped m ore than a dozen area families buy their first hom e th rough HUD. I’ve always found the HUD people to be extrem ely cooperative, and all ot my clients have received their bid decisions w ithin five days." — Danielle Tranlong, real estate sales agent “We w eren't looking for a hom e because we didn't think we had enough m oney saved to buy the size of hom e we wanted. A friend told us about a HUD hom e she knew of in the neighborhood. We called a real estate agent, subm itted an offer, and in just eight weeks we were moved in .” — Cynthia & Francisco Dominguez “So far, I’ve purchased three properties from HUD, partly to supplem ent my incom e and partly for retirem ent. Fixing up HUD hom es for rental property or eventual resale is definitely a good, long-term investm ent. I've talked w ith a n um ber of other people who have done it. and they’ve never regretted it.” HUD \ DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT — Roger Crow, construction worker The people at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development salute the history of minority achievement and support the future of equal opportunity in all of life's endeavors. , , } i > . r . —S *> > *« > * ' • ' • i . » i t » * » X- ’ * 4 * *.* * * » « •• > /<•>-»«* , i t » •> *7«*,* » . , . .
