# Housing Opportunities Commission 2025 01 08

The Housing Opportunities Commission meeting, identified in the transcript as January 8, 2025, reviewed and adopted its 2025 work plan. Commissioners agreed to replace the planned regional housing conference with more flexible regional stakeholder meetings—proposed twice yearly—and to update the plan’s target dates and include social service providers among potential partners. The motion passed. The commission also discussed reviewing the city’s forthcoming zoning rewrite from an affordable-housing perspective. No contract awards, vendor selections, or procurement votes occurred during the meeting.

Staff reported that the Day Resource Center project is progressing and that a resolution to allocate ARPA funds and approve a related contract is expected to go before City Council soon; no dollar amount or contractor was identified. The commission also reviewed housing and eviction data, including 111 permits for one- and two-family homes and 363 multifamily units permitted in 2024, and discussed development barriers. A developer described financing challenges for a 72-home manufactured housing project, with homes priced around $140,000 and down payments estimated at $20,000–$40,000; commissioners discussed land-trust and financing approaches, but took no purchasing or funding action.
