Vancouver, Wash. – The Housing Options Study and Action Plan project’s purpose is to identify housing challenges within the unincorporated Vancouver Urban Growth Area and opportunities to encourage development of housing that is affordable to a variety of household incomes through the removal of regulatory barriers and/or implementation of other strategies.

The group’s ninth and final meeting is scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 25 via Zoom. The meeting is open to the public and will be recorded. 

For information on how to join and participate in the meeting, please visit https://clark.wa.gov/community-planning/housing-project-advisory-group.

At the meeting, the Project Advisory Group (PAG) will finalize their recommendations for the Housing Action Plan. The PAG released their draft recommendations on Nov. 30, 2021, to seek input from the public. The input received from a Dec. 14 public meeting, a project questionnaire, and comments received via email, will be provided to the group to help inform their final recommendations for the Housing Action Plan.

The Housing Action Plan will be presented to and reviewed by the Clark County Planning Commission and Clark County Council. At that time, the decision makers will have the opportunity to direct staff on what strategies they are interested in pursuing for implementation.
