Issues: Housing and Property
The cost and availability of housing continues as a challenge to many in Oregon. While many new state and local initiatives are underway, the time it takes for results still leaves many unable to afford or find housing, New initiatives to address escalating rents, state bond money to match local funds to build new housing, additional funds for rent payment support are all programs that will help but not solve the challenge. Much more work is needed to identify the cost drivers of housing and working with local communities design strategies to effectively mitigate.
