At the Wilsonville Equitable Housing Strategic Task Force kick-off last month, the HBA offered SDC reform, increased housing options, and tax abatement as pro-housing tools for discussion and City Council consideration. Wilsonville faces key housing challenges including expanding opportunities for rent-burdened tenants and planning for their urban reserve areas. Wilsonville’s recent Metro and DLCD-approved UGB expansion will help address the City’s housing needs, but the City must also consider other mechanisms to reduce housing costs. The HBA is honored to serve on this important housing task force and looks forward to working with City Council liaison Ben West and other community members to advance housing affordability and housing choice.
