2021 Newberg’s Housing Needs Analysis

 

The City of Newberg is conducting an update to the Housing Needs Analysis

Project Description

The Housing Needs Analysis will address the following along with other issues:

Project the number of housing units needed within the next 20 years;

Review various factors that may affect housing mix, such as economic and demographic trends across the state and the nation;

Determine the housing types that will be affordable to projected household types based on household income; and

Estimate the number and type of additional housing units needed in each plan district.

Why do we need a Housing Needs Analysis?  A Housing Needs Analysis will help the City of Newberg address increases in population, determine how much land is available for needed housing in the future, how much of that land is buildable, and if there is enough buildable residential land. The city received a grant from the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to provide technical assistance (via a consultant, EcoNW) to the City for the purpose of increasing the supply and affordability of housing within the boundaries of the City.

What is the schedule for this project? 

Work on the plan began in August and will wrap up in February 2021. The project schedule is subject to change and we will do our best to keep this website information up to date. View project schedule
