A new Utah Foundation survey, sponsored by Call to Action Foundation, shows that municipal officials and staff are generally in favor of fostering affordable housing in their communities. However, they see the most substantial barrier to affordable housing is community opposition. “Decisions on which affordable projects get approved and which don’t often come down to city officials with varying levels of knowledge,” said Drew Maggelet, Director of Housing for Call to Action Foundation. “By surveying city officials on affordable housing, we learn more about where most decision-makers are on the topic and how developers and other stakeholders can educate and dispel common misconceptions. The more that all Utahns understand, the more likely they will be to embrace the benefits of building affordable housing in their backyard.” Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/gShCZne4

Earlier this month, the Bellevue City Council decided to pursue a new, more ambitious affordable housing target in the coming years. The proposed 10-year target, to be revisited in the fall following community outreach and additional analysis, aims to produce or preserve 5,700 housing units. The new affordable housing target is based on Bellevue’s 2022 Housing Needs Assessment gap analysis. According to the City: "A new affordable housing target will help the city keep pace with expected growth projections established in the Comprehensive Plan Update now being developed and will advance the goals of the Affordable Housing Strategy. City plans include furthering partnerships and adding more tools and methods to increase affordable housing production and preservation in the coming years, which will be key to attaining the new target."

On July 25, 2024 a timely article, Short-Term Rentals Driving Up Costs, Limiting Stock, of Year-Round Housing was published by the Lake George Mirror. https://lnkd.in/ePYj25KC The 2023 “Housing Needs Study” has highlighted a significant rise in short-term rentals in Warren County, with an estimated 58% increase from early 2020 to early 2023. While we support the revenue and taxes these rentals generate for our community, we remain concerned that the availability of affordable, decent housing isn't aligning with these statistics. At Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga, Warren & Washington Counties, we are committed to addressing this challenge by providing affordable housing solutions to those working toward home ownership. Together, we can build a stronger, more stable community. Learn more about this pressing issue and how you can help by visiting https://lnkd.in/ePWerSPb
