City of HR Embarking On Housing Needs Analysis

Hood River City Councilors approved a contract with the firms of EcoNorthwest and Berger Abam to do a buildable lands inventory and housing needs analysis.  It’s part of the effort to craft a solution to the lack of affordable housing in the area.  Hood River City Manager Steve Wheeler says the work will begin with an inventory of vacant land, filtering out some properties that are not realistic to build on.  Wheeler added they intuitively know some of the issues surrounding housing, but there is a need for more factual data.  The inventory and analysis should be done by the end of May.
