Equitable Housing Strategic Plan Task Force Meeting

A growing number of community members are burdened by the region’s lack of affordable housing.  Wilsonville is developing an Equitable Housing Strategic Plan, funded in part by a grant from Metro, to provide a clearer path to affordable housing for people of all household compositions, income ranges, ages and life stages.

The Equitable Housing Task Force will hold its final meeting on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 from 4:30 to 6:00 pm, at Wilsonville City Hall to review and provide feedback on the draft plan. The project team will share the feedback on the strategies received from City Council in the fall along with additional stakeholder input from recent surveys to inform the discussion. On Wednesday, February 12, at 6 pm at City Hall, the Planning Commission will hold a work session to review and provide feedback on the draft plan, and hear the input of the project Task Force.

Both meetings are open to the public. Comments and testimony are not taken at the Task Force meeting, but may be presented for consideration by the Planning Commission during a period of public input at the beginning of the meeting. You can also stream the Planning Commission meeting live or view on-demand recordings on the City’s YouTube channel.

Funded in part by a grant from Metro, the Equitable Housing Strategic Plan addresses a region-wide need to develop more affordable housing. The City of Wilsonville’s 2018 Community Survey indicated that only 38% of residents rated the availability of affordable quality housing as excellent or good.
