(3) Strategies to Meet Future Housing Need - A Housing Production Strategy Report must identify a list of specific actions, measures, and policies needed to address housing needs identified in the most recent Housing Capacity Analysis. The strategies proposed by a city must collectively address the next 20-year housing need identified within the most recent Housing Capacity Analysis and contextualized within the Report as provided in section (1). A Housing Production Strategy Report may identify strategies including, but not limited to, those listed in the Housing Production Strategy Guidance for Cities published by the Commission under Exhibit B.

(4) Achieving Fair and Equitable Housing Outcomes - A Housing Production Strategy Report must include a narrative summarizing how the selected Housing Production Strategies, in combination with other city actions, will achieve equitable outcomes with regard to the following factors:

(a) Location of Housing - How the city is striving to meet statewide greenhouse gas emission reduction goals, established under Executive Order No. 20-04, by creating compact, mixed-use neighborhoods available to people who are members of state and federal protected classes. Within Metro, cities subject to this rule shall describe actions taken by the city to promote the production of regulated affordable units, as defined in ORS 456.586(1)(b); to promote the production of accessible dwelling units; to mitigate or avoid the displacement of members of state and federal protected classes; and to remove barriers and increase housing choice for members of state and federal protected classes within Region 2040 centers. Cities subject to this rule and OAR 660-012-0310(2) shall describe actions taken by the city to promote the production of regulated affordable units, as defined in ORS 456.586(1)(b); to promote the production of accessible dwelling units; to mitigate or avoid the displacement of members of state and federal protected classes; and to remove barriers and increase housing choice for members of state and federal protected classes within climate-friendly areas. An accessible dwelling unit is a dwelling unit constructed to accommodate persons with disabilities, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and applicable construction requirements in adopted building codes;

(b) Fair Housing - How the city is affirmatively furthering fair housing for all state and federal protected classes. Affirmatively furthering fair housing means addressing disproportionate housing needs, patterns of integration and segregation, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, and disparities in access to housing opportunity;

(c) Housing Choice - How the city is facilitating access to housing choice for communities of color, low- income communities, people with disabilities, and other state and federal protected classes. Housing choice includes access to existing or new housing that is located in neighborhoods with high-quality community amenities, schooling, employment and business opportunities, and a healthy and safe environment.

(d) Housing options for residents experiencing homelessness - How the city is advocating for and enabling the provision of housing options for residents experiencing homelessness and how the city is partnering with other organizations to promote services that are needed to create permanent supportive housing and other housing options for residents experiencing homelessness;

(e) Affordable Homeownership and Affordable Rental Housing - How the city is supporting and creating opportunities to encourage the production of affordable rental housing and the opportunity for wealth creation via homeownership, primarily for state and federal protected classes that have been disproportionately impacted by past housing policies; and

(f) Gentrification, Displacement, and Housing stability - How the city is increasing housing stability for residents and mitigating the impacts of gentrification, as well as the economic and physical displacement of existing residents resulting from investment or redevelopment.

(5) A Housing Production Strategy Report must include the following additional elements:

(a) A description of any opportunities, constraints, or negative externalities associated with adoption of the elements of proposed Housing Production Strategies;

(b) A description of actions that the city and other stakeholders must take to implement the proposed Housing Production Strategies;

(c) If the Housing Production Strategy Report is the first produced under this division, a description of how the city will measure strategy implementation and progress;

(d) If the Housing Production Strategy Report is not the first produced under this section, a summary of strategies that the city has previously adopted and implemented, and a reflection on the efficacy of each implemented strategy; and

(e) A copy of the city's most recently completed survey to meet the requirements of ORS 456.586.
