Regional Affordable Housing Bond
On November 6, 2018, voters approved Measure 26-199 and Oregon Measure 102. These measures provide $652.8 million in resources to the Portland metropolitan region for affordable housing development and allow the funds to be leveraged with additional resources and partnerships.
Washington County jurisdictions received $192.2 million of the total bond funds, and they were divided up between Washington County ($118.9 million), the City of Beaverton ($31.8 million) and the City of Hillsboro ($41.5 million).
Washington County is using these funds to build high quality, affordable homes that will serve our community for decades to come.We are on track to exceed our production goals, increasing accessible housing for households with very low-incomes, families who need larger units, and those who need additional supports to maintain housing stability.
