Based on public interest in the topic, the Affordable Housing Policy Advisory Group, appointed by the Tacoma City Council, has elected to offer an additional public meeting on the Group’s affordable housing policy recommendations for Tacoma. The group held a morning meeting at the Chamber on Feb. 11th. This next meeting will be an evening meeting on February 28th. The program for both meetings is the same.
The City Council convened the Affordable Housing Policy Advisory Group, a consortium of for-profit developers, non-profit developers, planners, and architects in April 2010 to recommend policies the City should consider pertaining to our city’s need for and availability of affordable housing, particularly in downtown Tacoma.
The Group has delivered its report to the Council. A copy is available on-line at http://cms.cityoftacoma.org/cedd/housing/AHPAG_Final_Report_Dec_2010.pdf
