According to the summary report: “A summary of projected housing units needed for each income range by 2030. Units in green are unlikely to develop without considerable subsidies, so OCEDC should focus on rehabilitation of existing units in these price ranges and support new construction here as opportunities arise. Units in blue are most financially feasible and benefit the greatest number of households since higher income households also qualify for them, and existing housing at lower prices becomes available as households ‘move up’ into newer units. The highest income units should also be encouraged to help the overall housing supply, even if not directly supported by OCEDC efforts.” (Contributed image)
