Staff to study state moderate-income revolving program as tool for developer incentives

Aug 12, 2025

Staff flagged a state moderate-income revolving program (MRR) that could be a pass-through lending or incentive mechanism for local developers; the council asked staff to research details and bring back proposed ordinance language if the program is feasible.

The full story

City staff briefly introduced a state program described as a moderate-income revolving resource (MRR) supplied by the Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS). The program would allow the city to participate as a pass-through or sponsor so that developers could access funds in exchange for providing developer incentives or affordable units. Staff said they were still gathering details and would follow up with ordinance language and program mechanics if the council wishes to proceed.
