On Saturday, June 4 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Bend Livability Conference will have some interesting housing sessions on affordable housing. The conference will have many speakers including representatives from local government addressing the urban growth boundary and related issues, the need for affordable housing, and even a session on tiny homes, cottage homes, and other affordable housing options that are happening in other communities and how they may be applied to Bend.
There will also be other sessions related to transportation and neighborhood livability and various a la carte sessions. We have explored many of the affordable housing alternatives in Oregon and other cities in this column and it is exciting to see them included in this conference. The concept of making citizens aware of the options for our future growth and the housing crisis is commendable and hopefully there will be lots of participation and ideas.
