By some measures Oregon has the most severe housing shortage in the nation. ECONorthwest Partner Lorelei Juntunen will discuss her work to create a Regional Housing Needs Analysis that details housing needs statewide, regionally and by income level.
Recent studies show that Oregon has the most severe housing shortage in the nation. In this session ECONorthwest Partner Lorelei Juntunen will discuss her work to create a Regional Housing Needs Analysis that details housing needs statewide and regionally and by income level, as required by HB 2003 (2019). This is the first step of a broader effort to update the way Oregon does land use and housing planning to explicitly tie new data and analysis about housing need to a commitment to meet that need in land use plans and housing policies.
