Unmet Need for renter households and for existing homeowner households was <br />determined using the CHAS Data Book for Lane County, Oregon. Unmet Need shows <br />the number of households that are experiencing moderate to severe housing problems; <br />overcrowding, serious repairs, and spending more than 30.0% of household income for <br />housing costs. The State of Caring 2004 Report for Lane County shows that as many as <br />40.0% of all households report housing-related problems, including lack of funds for <br />basic household and medical needs, serious repairs, and overcrowding. The Report <br />also shows that 20.0% of respondents surveyed live in households with disabled <br />persons. These amounts are reflected in the Special Needs categories (the numbers in <br />the other renter categories were reduced by these same amounts). The unmet need for <br />potential home purchasers was derived from the CHAS Data and reflects the number of <br />renter households with incomes between 31.0% and 80.0% of MFI who reported <br />housing cost burden of less than 30.0% of household income. <br /> <br />Affordable Permanent Housing Objectives: <br /> <br /> Objectives Projected Outcomes <br />Maintain and enhance programs that provide financial and other Eugene: 500 units <br />support for the continued production of new affordable rental Springfield: lOOunits <br />housing. <br /> 4 non-profit agencies assisted <br /> <br />Assist non-profit sponsors to build operational capacity and <br />provide technical and other assistance to facilitate construction of <br />additional housinq units. <br />Continue Eugene's use of CDBG funds to purchase and landbank <br />sites for future affordable housinq developments. <br />Springfield to consider using CDBG funds to landbank sites for <br />future affordable housinc~ developments. <br />Evaluate new zoning code language for the permitting of <br />Accessory Dwelling Units and consider expanding to afl residential <br />zoning districts. <br /> <br />2 sites acquired <br /> <br />site evaluated <br /> <br />Bring to Springfield City Council in <br />2006, implement amendments by <br />2008. <br /> <br />Work with Cities to amend land use regulations to allow multi- On-going review of Eugene Land Use <br />family units on some single-family lots.
