Commissioners - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

Jackson County is seeking approval and appointment for the 2026 Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC). This committee is a key part of the Statewide Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The AHAC reviews county policies, land development rules, and the Comprehensive Plan to ensure they meet affordable housing requirements. Triennially, the AHAC makes recommendations for the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP), which are then submitted to the Board of County Commissioners. This item is currently under review, with a recommendation for approval. The work of this committee involves reviewing existing regulations and making recommendations for future affordable housing initiatives. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this process as the committee's recommendations could lead to future projects and opportunities in affordable housing development and related services. Early engagement with the Community Development Department could provide insights into upcoming needs.
