Taking Action to Meet Eugene’s Housing & Jobs Needs
One of the proposed housing actions is to allow ‘micro village housing’ as a new housing type in Eugene. Community First Village in Austin, TX is an example of this model. As a part of Urban Growth Strategies, Eugene will advance specific actions to address needs for the next 20 years of housing and jobs. Eugene needs more than 26,000 homes over the next 20 years, according to the 2025 Oregon Housing Needs Analysis. To meet this need, Eugene would need to produce about 1,600 dwellings each year, or a 70% increase from current production.
To help meet Eugene’s 20-year housing and jobs needs, City staff have proposed a series of housing, compact development, and jobs actions as priorities for City Council adoption in 2026 and 2027. These actions reflect draft housing and compact development policies in the Comprehensive Plan. Actions are still at the ‘concept’ level and will require more research, evaluation, and feedback.

This list of actions is informed by past research and engagement efforts, conversations with community members, housing and development professionals, and City staff, and priorities in existing work plans, such as the Housing Implementation Pipeline.
