Metro's Regional Framework Plan states that it is the policy of the Metro Council to "provide housing choices in the region...paying special attention to those households with the fewest housing choices."
Title 7 (Housing Choice) of Metro's Urban Growth Management Functional Plan also requires Metro to track the creation of new affordable housing in the Portland region.
Metro's inventory of regulated affordable housing is a useful tool for regional partners conducting planning, development and financing activities related to housing. This is an update of the inventory, which was last completed in 2011.
