Housing Production Strategy (HPS) - Docket G 4-24

Introduction

In Oregon, cities have a long-standing requirement to study and plan for their community's housing needs. In 2019, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2003 (ORS 197.290) directing cities with a population greater than 10,000 to develop and adopt a Housing Production Strategy (HPS) no later than one year after the city’s deadline for completing a Housing Needs Analysis (HNA). 

• The City of McMinnville adopted a HNA on February 27, 2024 - Ordinance No. 5141  "McMinnville Urbanization Report"

The HPS must include a list of specific actions, including the adoption of measures and policies, that the city shall undertake to promote development affordable, fair, and equitable housing to address the housing need identified in the HNA. The HPS will contain an eight (8)-year timeline for adopting and executing each strategy. Cities must also evaluate their HPS progress and effectiveness at a mid-term checkpoint. The HPS Report will include the following:

• Contextualized housing needs
• Summaries of existing measures and final proposed strategies
• How the City’s existing measures and final proposed strategies help to achieve fair and equitable housing outcomes, affirmatively further fair housing, and overcome discriminatory housing practices and racial segregation
• Understanding of capacity limitations of City resources (primarily staff time and funding) for implementing the selected strategies for inclusion in the HPS; and
• A conclusion addressing the following:
  • A qualitative assessment of how the strategies collectively address the contextualized housing needs identified in the HNA and HPS;
  • Discussion of how the proposed actions, taken collectively, will increase housing options for historically marginalized communities;
  • How the City’s existing measures and proposed strategies will affirmatively further fair housing, link housing to transportation, provide access to areas with high Opportunity (such as areas with concentrations of jobs or services or accessible by transit), address needs for people facing homelessness and equitable distribution of services, create opportunities for rental housing and homeownership, and mitigate vulnerabilities to displacement and housing instability;
  • The rationale for any identified needs not being addressed; and
  • The City’s plan for monitoring progress on the housing production strategies.
