Metro advances a diverse regional housing supply through its growth management and transportation plans and development of properties along the region’s transit network. The housing bond identified 10% of total funding for Metro’s use to help ensure that new affordable housing investments support the growth policies and values established by leaders in the region.
These funds are used to purchase properties and invest in development, following criteria shaped by community input. Properties are then transferred to one of Metro’s city or county partners for development of new affordable housing.
