Clackamas County halts effort to repeal emergency declaration May 06 2021
UPDATE: Board tables discussion on rescinding housing measure; Chair Tootie Smith blames panic stirred by email campaign.
UPDATED THURSDAY, MAY 6, 12:40 P.M.: The Clackamas Board of County Commissioners has decided, for now, not to end an emergency housing declaration nearly three months before its scheduled sunset. The board s decision Thursday, May 6, to stall their action on ending the declaration came after a somewhat bitter discussion over whether rescinding the emergency order would impact the county s ability to be agile in responding to safety threats to Clackamas County s unhoused populations caused by extreme weather events such as ice storms, wildfires or heat. It is set to expire on Aug. 1, 2021, but has been renewed by the board each of the last four years.

Clayton Crowhurst, housing developer with Northwest Housing Alternatives, an organization that provides âaffordable housing options for families, seniors and people with special needs across Oregonâ took the time to explain how the rising cost of materials, like lumber, are having an impact on affordable housing projects locally and across the state in a phone interview on April 22.
The nonprofit affordable housing developer out of Oak Grove is planning to break ground on two new housing developments in 2021, which will be bringing 126 new apartments to Ontario, according to previous information from Crowhurst.
One of these is the former Presbyterian Care Center, which was being considered for affordable housing for Ontario. The property has been purchased by Northwest Housing Alternatives, which initially proposed to turn the site into about 60 housing units.
