Housing Committee Works To Spur Building In Grants Pass

Wikimedia

Few people can deny the housing crunch felt all over our region.  Low vacancy rates and high rents demonstrate the problem. 

But just HOW can any community spur the construction of new housing for people at all income levels?  That's a question asked out loud by the Housing Advisory Committee in Grants Pass. 

The committee plans a series of public meetings and forums meant to encourage the development of more housing.  Committee members Doug Walker and Sam Engel bring the details.
