Work Force Housing is Southern Oregon’s Greatest Residential Challenge.
The lack of available and affordable Work Force Housing units here in Southern Oregon, specifically in Josephine County and Rogue Valley Communities, is a longstanding issue. Whether for the Medical, Manufacturing, Education, or Retail Business sectors, the record shows it has been extremely difficult to attract, recruit, and retain the high level technicians, experienced managers, and skilled trades people needed to make our economy strong and resilient.
This time sensitive focus for development of available and affordable housing, vital for the future of the region and the families of our local communities, has led to formation of Solutions Development, an Oregon Community Benefit Company. This property development and management firm will specialize in site acquisition, design, and project implementation to address both single and multi-family residential housing gaps. Understanding the full range of entry level needs, whether direct purchase, rental, or other ownership options, Solutions Development is actively partnering with local community leaders, nonprofit organizations, county agencies, and other private sector partners to begin bridging these unmet challenges.
Large housing projects are certainly part of the long-term need, but they require much greater planning, funds, and big pocket developers. Meanwhile, there is a verified and overlooked inventory of existing in-fill lots vacant within Grants Pass City limits that present many immediate opportunities.
So, what is missing? First, is the participation of effective private sector Benefit Companies committed to the goal of available housing to galvanize action for both rental and ownership markets. Second, is the need for agency and nonprofit stewardship to coordinate the use of public funds and private contributions to maximize impact for these desired housing developments.
Solutions Development, your local Oregon Community Benefit Company, invites you to come alongside our endeavor to realistically solve this shovel ready part of the Southern Oregon housing crisis, while also creating better neighborhoods that celebrate real community based solutions for all our citizens to afford and enjoy.
