Take the Middle Housing Survey

Middle Housing Survey

Eighty percent of residential zoning in Eugene is designated for single-family homes, yet young adults, smaller families, and the growing population of elderly need housing options that increase access to public transportation and services, reduce maintenance costs and provide more social opportunities. The Eugene Middle Housing Project will revise the Land Use Code to improve housing choices in the short term and affordability in the long term for Eugene residents.

In 2019, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 2001, requiring cities to allow more types of housing in residential areas, particularly in more traditionally single-family neighborhoods where housing choices are limited. Revising Eugene’s Land Use Code to comply with House Bill 2001 will shape how our community develops and expand opportunities for where people can choose to live and what type of home they live in. [More information regarding the reason for the survey can be found here.]

The survey will be open until March 5th, 2021, and folks who take the survey will be entered to win one of two $50 gift cards. If you don’t have an Engage Eugene account you will need to create one to complete the survey
