Tigard Housing Survey

The City of Tigard is studying what housing may be needed over the next 20 years. This information needs to be updated every six years based on population growth predictions, but it also relies on people like you to better understand the kinds of housing that the community needs, including the desired styles of housing and challenges to being able to live in ideal housing. Your feedback will give us a better understanding of the types of housing needed, which will allow us to explore ways to provide it.
