Washington County awarded $97,500 for equitable housing

A $97,500 grant to help Washington County identify barriers to affordable housing development and implement solutions was awarded by Metro Council on Dec. 1.

The County's Affordable Housing Site Evaluation, Barriers & Solutions grant was one of seven grants, totaling $575,000, that will help support equitable housing in seven communities in the greater Portland area.

The grant will allow Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT) to update County regulations and streamline development processes to eliminate barriers to new affordable housing. The grant will also allow LUT to review barriers to financing affordable housing and will fund predevelopment work on a proposed 48-unit affordable housing development at the southeast corner of Cornell Road and Murray Boulevard in Cedar Mill. The County will work closely with community members, including affordable housing residents, developers, designers, financers and others. Metro's Guide to Equitable Housing webpage Media release
