Many people in the region experience housing instability daily. The housing market has become increasingly unaffordable, creating unprecedented challenges for residents to find and keep a home they can afford. Meeting the housing needs of all households at a range of income levels is integral to the livability of the region.

What is the Regional Housing Strategy?

The Regional Housing Strategy is a “playbook” of regional and local actions to preserve, improve, and expand housing stock in the region. The aim is to make a range of affordable, accessible, healthy, and safe housing choices available to every resident and to promote fair and equal access to housing for all people. Development of the strategy is a key implementation action from VISION 2050.

The Regional Housing Strategy is intended to:

  • Support the Growth Management Act and VISION 2050
  • Provide a coordinated, data informed, and ambitious framework to address current and future housing needs for all residents
  • Recognize and support the different roles local jurisdictions, agencies, and partners play in preserving and expanding both affordable and market-rate housing
  • Inform, complement, and advance future housing planning actions at regional, countywide, and local levels
  • Center equity and use a racial equity lens to assess disparities, engage residents, and minimize burdens to vulnerable communities

The Growth Management Policy Board is leading the development of the strategy and is now looking for input on the draft strategy. Comments that were provided here will be shared with the board at its September meeting and taken into consideration as the board continues to revise and refine the strategy this fall.
