The Hood River City Council will receive affordable housing recommendations at its meeting on Monday evening. A technical advisory committee and the consulting firm ECONorthwest have been working for a number of weeks to prepare a comprehensive housing needs analysis, buildable lands inventory, and housing strategy. The needs analysis will include an assessment of whether Hood River has enough land within the Urban Growth Boundary to accommodate expected population growth and an inventory of vacant land in Hood River. The strategy portion will focus on increasing residential land use efficiency, secondary housing, and a short-term rental housing policy. The Council meeting begins at 5:30 on Monday evening in Hood River City Hall.
