Show Up + Speak Up for Affordable Housing in Port Townsend!
How can we ensure more affordable housing for local households
making up to $110,000?
The goal is to gather community feedback that will drive code changes to increase housing in the city. HSN hopes to see and hear many of our local residents speak up to the importance of affordable workforce housing and how we can meet the needs of our community at large.
Show up + speak up on what barriers you’d like to see the city remove to support developing housing, how the city and community can address the need for more diverse and affordable housing, what opportunities does this community have to take advantage of, and what should we consider before implementing such code changes that will also address housing options for those making under 150% area median income?
If public speaking isn’t ‘your jam’, the community is invited to share their
opinions via public comment up till 4pm the day of public meetings by emailing PublicComment@cityofpt.us
