Housing bond background
In 2018, voters approved a $652.8 million affordable housing bond measure to create permanently affordable homes across Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties.
Metro is working with local partners and communities across the region to develop 3,900 homes for seniors, working families, veterans and others who need them. Metro will implement the bond in partnership with the City of Gresham and six other jurisdictions, each with its own funding allocation and production targets.
