TIGARD, Ore. — A group of seniors who live in low-income housing in Tigard are facing steep rent hikes . They took to the Washington County Board of Commissioners meeting Tuesday morning to testify about their fear of being priced out of their housing and becoming homeless. The strength of their community was on display as each tenant took to the podium, begging for something to be done to save their housing. 'They're not neighbors, they're our friends and we don't want to have to go anywhere,' said Shelly Perez a tenant at Woodspring Apartments.
