HR Council Receives “Kitchen Table” Report

The Hood River City Council received a report from Oregon Kitchen Table out of Portland State University that gathered viewpoints on the City’s continuing affordable housing issues, with a particular focus on underrepresented community members.  City Manager Steve Wheeler says the intent of it was not meant to be a statistically valid survey, but instead seek out voices that may not get a chance to be heard.  Much of the response in the report came from the area’s Spanish-speaking community.  The report indicates the majority of people in Hood River want to see different types of housing for different income levels and life stages within the City, but also many different values and beliefs about housing issues, and that the City will need to plan with other cities and counties in the region to address the topic.  Wheeler says the information will be used by the City Council and Planning Commission as background material for housing issues.
