Page 4 April 5, 2017 $35 Arts Tax Due April 18 The city of Portland is remind- ing residents that the $35 Arts Tax approved by Portland voters in 2012, is due on April 18. This annual tax, which helps pay for 91 kindergarten through fifth grade art and music teachers in Portland area schools and other arts programs sponsored by local arts organizations, is due from all adult Portlanders with taxable in- come of $1,000 or more. This in- cludes anyone who moved into or out of Portland during 2016. Adults who earn less than $1,000 or are below the poverty line must still file a return to claim an ex- emption. Portlanders can file and pay the $35 Arts Tax online at port- landoregon.gov/artstax. It takes most people three to four minutes to complete the filing process and receive an e-mail receipt.

Williams Ave Suite #2 Portland, Or 97227 housing to Clark County. The rapid rise in rents has hit Vancouver’s seniors living on a fixed Social Security income particularly hard. As the local population outpaces the housing supply, there is a growing short- age of rental housing that is both affordable to seniors and provides the functionality to help seniors age in place. Isabella Court is strategically located on the Fourth Plain Cor- ridor and aligns with city of Van- couver and Clark County’s efforts to address an area that is under- served for low-income seniors. Isabella Court offers rents af- fordable to people 62 years and older who earn 60 percent or less of area median income ($30,840 for single person household). Rents at the 49-unit building range from $627 a month to $914 a month. The Vancouver Housing Authority also has provided fund- ing for 10 apartments to include a rental subsidy making them af- fordable to households earning 30 percent or less of median income.
