Equitable Housing Task Force Meeting #3

Equitable Housing Task Force Meeting #3

What is the Wilsonville doing to achieve an equitable housing future?

To address Wilsonville’s greatest civil rights issue, drastically rising housing prices, Wilsonville City Council is nearing the completion of an Equitable Housing Strategic Plan. The third and final meeting of the Equitable Housing Task Force, comprised of technical experts and community members, met on January 29.

This is an important time because the City of Wilsonville will be taking a stronger role – necessary in my opinion – to address housing needs. The measures to monitor progress are a crucial element in disrupting structural racism that is inherent in the current system.
