Local land supplies andzoning standards partially determine the amount,general type, and density of new housing construction,and building codes help to ensure housingsafety and durability.Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) ProgramThe City of Vancouver manages a local grantprogram to allocate approximately $1 millionannually in federal Housing and Urban Developmentfunds targeted for assisting low andmoderate income populations. Local CDBGprogram activities related to housing includeneighborhood revitalization, affordable housingassistance, and assistance to homeless residents.Specific housing-related actions include propertyacquisition, demolition, or relocation; housingrehabilitation, limited public facility or serviceconstruction or provision; energy conservationactivities.HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)The City of Vancouver also annually allocatesfederal funds to create affordable low-incomehousing under the HOME program. Projectsinclude assistance with home buying or renting,housing rehabilitation loans, or direct developmentof affordable rental housing.Providing housing affordable to low to moderateincome households and special needs populationstypically requires direct subsidies and involvementby public or non-profit sectors. Major agencies andprograms in Vancouver include the following:Vancouver Housing Authority (VHA)VHA has served as the designated public housingprovider in Clark County since 1942, andin 2010 provided rental housing and housingassistance to approximately 12,500 residentscountywide. VHA owns or manages approximately1,000 units, provides voucher assistanceto for private rental of 2,300 units, and provides1900 units of workforce housing for families.VHA also owns or manages 300 special needsunits for assisted living, shelters, or persons withmental illness.Housing Rehabilitation ProgramVancouver also operates an owner-occupiedhousing rehabilitation program providing up to$25,000 to moderate income homeowners, andan emergency repair grants of up to $5000 forlow income mobile homeowners.Non-profit OrganizationsLocal non-profit organizations involved in lowincome or special needs housing provision orassistance include: Affordable CommunityEnvironments; Columbia Non-Profit Housing;Community Housing Resource Center; Councilfor the Homeless; Evergreen Habitat forHumanity; Janus Youth; Second Step Housing;Share.2009-2013 Housing and CommunityDevelopment Consolidated PlanTo guide local housing provision and set priori-3-6 | Housing PUBLIC COMMENT DRAFT
ties for local expenditure of federal CDBG andHOME funds, the City of Vancouver periodicallyproduces a Consolidated Housing Plan. The2009 Plan provides an analysis of communityneeds and establishes priority objectives andlong-range strategies to guide the allocation ofhousing and community development resources.It is updated annually through an “Action Plan”with information on projects and funding for theupcoming year, and supported by an annualperformance report.2007 10-Year Homeless PlanPursuant to state requirements to develop plansto end homelessness, in 2007 Vancouver, ClarkCounty and area non-profit organizationsadopted a 10-year homeless plan. The planrequires completing annual one-day counts ofhomeless persons. As of January 2011 therewere 650 sheltered homeless persons in ClarkCounty, 187 unsheltered persons, and 834 personsliving temporarily with family or friends.Direction for the futureVancouver will work with public agencies, nonprofitorganizations and private housing developersto provide a range of housing types for local residentsin safe, livable neighborhoods. This willinvolve working to provide adequate low-incomeand special needs housing, striving to improveoverall housing affordability and neighborhood andcommunity livability. Vancouver will coordinatewith other jurisdictions in Clark County to provide afair share of low-income and special needs housing.There is an estimated long term capacity for approximately16,500 additional housing units in theCity of Vancouver, and for approximately 34,500new units in the unincorporated Vancouver UGA asof 2011, based on existing land supplies and anticipatedredevelopment opportunities. Multi-familyunits account for slightly more than half (54%) ofthis capacity within city limits, and slightly morethan one-third (39%) in the remainder of theVancouver UGA. See the Land Capacity Analysisin Appendix C, for details. This capacity is fullysufficient to accommodate projected total populationgrowth, and there are a range of zoningdesignations that allow for different densities andhousing types.DRAFT Vancouver Comprehensive Plan 2011-2030 Housing | 3-7
