As part of the City of Hood River’s effort to encourage development of affordable workforce housing, municipal officials will be looking at a housing production strategy.  City Planning Director Dustin Nilsen says such a plan would target creation of affordable housing, and look at levers and options the City has to encourage or make available housing product that is not delivered by the market.  Hood River City Councilors are working on refining codes to allow for more middle housing options like duplexes, triplexes, and cottages.  Another task is to determine what kind of development is possible on land adjacent to Rand Road the City purchased with the intention of the property being used for housing.
