GEARHART — In a city
where the median home price
reaches $424,000, housing
issues take center stage.
Before Wednesday night’s
City Council meeting was
over, the c ouncil had taken
in a request for funding from
Helping Hands Re-entry and
resolved to enter into an agree-
ment with the county and other
cities on a $100,000 housing
study.
In June, County Manager
Cameron Moore suggested
Gearhart partner with other
cities to learn more about
housing issues. A similar six-
month study by Tillamook
County identifi ed specifi c
data about the area’s housing
market and possible solutions.
The Clatsop County agree-
ment recognizes the “lack of
housing options is creating
barriers to continued eco-
nomic growth.”
Businesses are struggling
to retain and attract employ-
ees because they cannot fi nd
housing or cannot afford
the housing that might be
available, according to the
agreement.
Cannon Beach, Seaside,
Warrenton, Astoria and Gear-
hart have been asked to pro-
vide $10,000 toward the
estimated $100,000 cost of
the project. The county will
pledge $50,000.
According to the agree-
ment, the county will hire a
consultant to assist in under-
standing the type, size, loca-
tion and price of housing
needed to meet the current
and future needs of county
residents, along with market
forces, regulations and local
barriers that impact housing
development.
“This is a good opportu-
nity for partnership with the
county and cities of Clatsop
County,” City Administrator
Chad Sweet wrote in a staff
report.
City Attorney Peter Watts
said there is a general consen-

sus of a housing emergency in
the county, and growing pres-
sure for cities to conduct these
types of studies.
Cost savings will come
from teaming with the county,
rather than preparing an inde-
pendent study, he added.
F unding for the housing
study partnership will come
from the city’s hazard miti-
gation fund, Sweet said. The
fund contains $14,950.
Mayor Matt Brown and
City Councilors Paulina
Cockrum, Dan Jesse and Sue
Lorain voted to support the
partnership. Councilor Kerry
Smith was absent.
night in four counties. In Sea-
side, Helping Hands provides
up to 60 beds a night.
“All the cities provide
assistance and we’ve always
wondered how come Gearhart
hasn’t offered us an oppor-
tunity to apply,” Evans said.
“I had a conversation with
somebody who said, ‘Have
you asked?’ The answer is
‘No, I haven’t.’”
Evans cited an increase
in need and a housing crisis
“like we’ve never seen before
in the last year.”
“We’ve had a increase of
6 percent in the last year in
children needing services. In
our community,” he said. “We
had an 18 percent increase in
the elderly needing assistance
in this community. And a 35
percent increase in people
needing services in the last
two years.”
Evans delivered a letter
and annual report to council-
ors, who agreed to consider
the request at a future budget
session.
Request for shelter
funds
In a public comment period
before the regular meeting,
Alan Evans, chief executive
offi cer and founder of Help-
ing Hands, requested support
for his organization. Help-
ing Hands provides shelter
and re-entry services through
