City Housing
Plan
Recognized
Strategies for Fair Housing, a
city o f Portland plan for increasing
housing opportunities for disabled
and homeless people, has been award
ed both national and state awards
from the American Planning Associ
ation for Outstanding Planning.
The project was spearheaded by
commissioner Gretchen Kafoury in
1902 to respond to policies and reg
ulations that made it difficult to lo
cate critical housing in the city.
An 18-ntember citizens' task
force met for over a year to make
recommendations for improving the
siting process.
Staff from the Bureau of Hous
ing and Community Development
and the Bureau of Planning facilitat
ed the work and crafted the strategy ,
which was adopted by the city coun
cil in late 1993.
“This is quite an honor," Kafoury
said.
