At the May 3 North Bend City Council meeting, Mayor Rob McFarland proclaimed May 8 - 14, 2022, as Affordable Housing Week in North Bend. All people should have access to safe, healthy and affordable homes within communities that provide opportunity.
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines affordable housing as "housing on which the occupant is paying no more than 30 percent of gross income for housing costs, including utilities." The City endorses the goals, objectives and purposes of Affordable Housing Week, and in doing so, firmly recommits itself to ensuring that our community's recovery from the crises at hand is equitable, and that all people in North Bend live with dignity in safe, healthy and affordable homes.
