A task force will be put together as the City of Hood River develops an affordable housing production strategy over the next few months.  The goal is to identify tools to allow the City to encourage development of more affordable housing for those making 120 percent of the median family income.  City Associate Planner Jennifer Kaden gave City Councilors an outline of who would be sought to be on the task force, including local experts, employers, residents of affordable housing, and housing partners.  Councilor Megan Saunders was appointed to be a liaison to the Council on the task force.  Councilors gave their approval to hire a consultant and more forward with the project.
