Project Description
In Milwaukie, the cost of renting and owning a home have increased sharply over the last 10 years. As housing costs rise, many Milwaukie residents pay so much for housing that they have difficulty affording their basic needs. Others, including many who work in Milwaukie, cannot afford housing in the city at all. While wages in Milwaukie have increased, they have increased at a much slower rate than the cost of housing.
The City of Milwaukie is in the process of preparing two housing reports that will help understand and address housing needs for people in the city. These reports will identify actions to address unmet housing needs that build off of the City’s past efforts to increase housing affordability in the City, including the Milwaukie Housing Affordability Strategy.
The City is considering which actions it will take to help to meet Milwaukie’s housing needs. Below, you can learn more about Milwaukie’s Housing Needs and the strategies the City is considering. We welcome your questions and comments about these strategies as we develop these documents.
Please contact Laura Weigel, Planning Manager at weigell@milwaukieoregon.gov(link sends e-mail) or 503.786.7654 with questions. The deadline for comments is April 24, 2023.
