(b) Provide technical assistance to developers, affordable housing and service providers, planners, stakeholders and local governments to: (A) Support housing location, design, development and the delivery of home and community-based services for older adults; and (B) Help ensure housing developments meet the needs of older adults to age well in their homes and communities through housing that enables choice, safety and physical accessibility. (c) Provide regular public updates and track goals and progress relating to affordable rental housing targeted toward populations of older adults and persons with disabilities. Updates that must be given under this paragraph may be provided through or in coordination with the department’s housing equity indicators under ORS 456.602. (2) The department may contract with a public or private provider for the administration of the initiative. [2025 c.576 §2] (Administration)
