(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon Housing Production Advisory Council has released its priorities for developing an action plan. Governor Tina Kotek formed the council when she declared a homelessness state of emergency and a goal to build 36-thousand affordable housing units a year. The council will consider availability of land, permit applications, codes, workforce shortages and financing. Their recommendations must address barriers to housing, changes to laws and rules that accelerate construction, and plan for production that's equitable and affirms fair housing. Their deadline is December 31st.
