Affordable Housing and Severe Rent Burdens
Calendar Date:
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:
- The causes of severe rent burdens;
- The consequences of severe rent burdens;
- Barriers to reducing severe rent burdens; and
- Solutions to reducing severe rent burdens
In early 2025, a more comprehensive and detailed presentation regarding affordable housing and housing supply will take place.
