Virtual Public Meeting - Rent Burdens and Possible Solutions
Calendar Date:
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The City of Corvallis and its Housing Operational Committee invite you to a public meeting on the topics of affordable housing and severe rent burdens.
When: Tuesday, December 6, 2022, 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Where: Virtual – https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4875521957266955024
Why: Under an Oregon state law (HB 4006) passed in 2018, communities like Corvallis that have high percentages of households with “severe rent burdens” – meaning that those households are paying more than 50% of their income for their costs to rent a home – must hold a public meeting each year.
The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss and receive feedback from the community about four topics:
1. The causes of severe rent burdens;
2. The consequences of severe rent burdens;
3. Barriers to reducing severe rent burdens; and
4. Possible solutions.
City Housing staff will highlight the work of the Community Development Department in the past couple of years that will increase housing supply.
Please contact housing@corvallisoregon.gov for more information, or if you will need any special accommodations in order to attend and participate in the meeting.
