Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: This Act requires OHCS to study low-cost housing. (Flesch Readability Score: 71.8). Requires the Housing and Community Services Department to study affordable housing and submit findings to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to housing no later than September 15, 2026.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Housing and Community Services Department (OHCS) to conduct a comprehensive study on affordable housing in Oregon and submit a detailed report to the state legislative assembly's interim housing committees by September 15, 2026. The study is expected to analyze current affordable housing challenges and potentially provide legislative recommendations for addressing these issues. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the department will only be obligated to complete this single study. By mandating this research, the bill aims to provide legislators with up-to-date, data-driven insights into the state's affordable housing landscape, which could inform future policy decisions and potential legislative actions to improve housing accessibility and affordability for Oregon residents.
