Poulsbo commission restates state targets and asks what it will take to create the market
Summary
Staff reminded members the city must enable 1,977 units overall and 278 workforce units to meet state allocation targets; commissioners emphasized these figures represent what must be possible to build and asked what market and regulatory changes will convince developers to build workforce ownership units.
In closing, staff reiterated the memorandum’s targets: the city should enable 1,977 new housing units across income levels over the next 20 years and 278 workforce units as part of its state‑mandated obligations. Commissioners stressed that those numbers are targets to enable—not guarantees that the market will build them—and asked what conditions would be necessary to change market dynamics so private developers will deliver workforce ownership housing.
Members agreed to continue the charter and site analyses at the next meeting and to prepare a packet of locally informed options for legislators and the governor’s task force. The next meeting was set for Tuesday, June 16 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
