Metro, the regional government serving the Portland metropolitan area, is seeking a qualified consultant to support the development and evaluation of a regional land banking strategy aimed at increasing affordable housing capacity. The selected consultant will provide technical expertise in land banking program design, governance structures, financing mechanisms, and policy considerations. The work will involve supporting a regional working group through structured discussions, preparing analytical materials such as structural option reports and comparison matrices, and guiding decision-making processes related to land acquisition strategies. The project is part of Metro’s broader Regional Housing Coordination Strategy, which seeks to address housing shortages, rising land costs, and fragmented jurisdictional planning. Deliverables include technical reports, meeting materials, and a synthesis memo outlining preferred program models and implementation considerations. The engagement emphasizes collaboration, stakeholder alignment, and actionable policy recommendations to support long-term affordable housing development.
