Abstract
Many
studies
have
focused
on
the
relationship
between
Urban
Growth
Boundaries
(UGBs)
and
home
prices.
This
study
explores
challenges
to
the
production
of
affordable
housing
(for
owners
and
renters)
and
whether
they
are
intensified
by
the
presence
of
a
UGB.
This
study
examines
the
extent
to
which
the
production
of
affordable
housing,
intended
for
households
earning
80%
of
the
Area
Median
Income
(AMI)
or
less,
is
keeping
up
with
the
growth
of
low-‐income
households
by
examining
surpluses
and
deficits
of
affordable
housing
units
over
time.
I
also
explore
the
barriers
that
impact
the
development
of
affordable
housing
to
identify
similarities
between
Oregon,
a
growth
management
state,
and
California,
a
non-‐
growth
management
state.
