The City of Albany is hosting a forum on housing cost burden in Albany and the actions the City is taking to address this issue on November 14 at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Albany City Hall, 333 Broadalbin St SW and online at at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85798721935?pwd=aAsoGFCxLA9BHHZhjO20Mo06twxqIR.1. The public is invited to attend the forum to learn more about this issue, the Housing Implementation Plan, ask questions, and provide feedback.
According to the 2022 American Community Survey, Albany is considered a severely rent burdened city, meaning more than 25% of renters spend over 50% of their income on rent.
The City is pursuing priority strategies from the Housing Implementation Plan (HIP) to address housing needs, including the need for affordable housing, in Albany. These strategies include both revisions to the Albany Development Code and housing policies to incentivize housing that is affordable.
