The Task Force Will Seek to Achieve the Following Outcomes

The Task Force will gather information and make specific near term recommendations on regulatory changes and mechanisms that will foster the maintenance and development of affordable housing for all income levels, including the homeless.

Clackamas County and cooperating cities are funding a Housing Needs Assessment to provide a detailed analysis of housing demand, supply and needs throughout the county at all income levels. Based on that analysis, the Task Force will recommend funding programs that will strengthen the County's ability to foster housing affordability and reduce homelessness.

Today, there is a host of programs, committees and bodies addressing housing affordability and homelessness. The Task Force will make recommendations on long-term oversight, advocacy and coordination of housing affordability and homelessness reduction efforts in Clackamas County and interested cities.
