Housing and Neighborhood Services - Public Meeting
Calendar Date:
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
The City of Corvallis invites you to a public meeting on the topics of affordable housing and severe rent burdens.
When: Tuesday, November 28th, 2023, 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Where: Virtual (RSVP encouraged) – https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7528069577782100570
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. Solutions to reducing severe rent burdens
City Housing staff will highlight the work of the Community Development Department and partners 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.
