• Supportive housing types code changes (HB 1220)
• ADUs (HB 1337)
• Middle housing (HB 1110)
• Strategies to encourage more affordable housing (re: HB 1220)

Each workshop in the series will feature a different periodic update topic in-depth. Stay tuned to the periodic update webpage for more information, previous session materials and registration.

The primary audience for this series is the planners, consultants and staff most involved with
comprehensive planning. However, elected officials, planning commissioners and others with a role in the planning process are also welcome to attend.

This year’s workshop series focuses on those jurisdictions due in 2025, but all jurisdictions are welcome to attend! Future workshop series’ will be held for 2026 and 2027 jurisdictions.
