The Orange County Workforce Housing Task Force was formed by Mayor Crotty as an outcome of the Workforce Housing Summit convened on May 5, 2006. District 5 County Commissioner Bill Segal was selected to chair a nine member Task Force, comprised of individuals with financial, business and real estate development experience appointed by the Board of County Commissioners on June 13, 2006.
The purpose of the Task Force was to define workforce housing, to create incentives to encourage the private market to respond to the overwhelming demand for workforce housing, and to ensure long term affordability for workforce housing. To this end, the Task Force adopted the following mission statement:
"To expand housing options by developing new tools to promote the development and preservation of workforce housing through innovative policy recommendations that will improve the production and sustainability of workforce housing in Orange County."
The Workforce Housing Report summarizes the recommendations of the Workforce Housing Taskforce.
