    Housing Needs Assessment Survey for Coos Bay/North Bend
    (University of Oregon, 2000-01) University of Oregon. Dept. of Planning, Public Policy and Management. Community Planning Workshop; Stevens, Mark
    Shoji Planning and Development is conducting a housing needs assessment for the Affordable Housing Opportunity Partnership in the Coos Bay/North Bend area. Housing needs assessments typically include information about housing characteristics and condition, household characteristics, and cost of housing. The most complete and reliable source of housing data is the U.S. Census of Population and Housing. The Census, however, is conducted every 10 years and was last conducted in 1990. It is probable that many characteristics of the Coos Bay/North Bend communities have changed since that time. Recognizing the limitations of available data sets, the Affordable Housing Opportunity Partnership desired to implement a household survey to gather current data on housing and demographic characteristics. The Partnership contracted the University of Oregon’s Community Planning Workshop (CPW) to implement the survey. CPW used the questions generated by the Partnership and previous housing surveys conducted by CPW to develop a draft survey questionnaire for review and comment by Shoji Planning and the Affordable Housing Partnership.

    OregonBILDS: Five-Year Business Plan
    (2012-04-18) Parker, Robert; Hayes, Bryan
    OregonBILDS is a unique service-learning program that offers students the opportunity to collaborate and manage the design and construction of an affordable and environmentally responsible single-family house. Based in the Department of Architecture at the University of Oregon (UO), OregonBILDS serves students at both UO and Lane Community College (LCC). The project-based learning program takes place within one academic year, and major development tasks are tied closely to the curriculum. Working under the supervision of faculty, students will design the house and apply for permits in the fall. During this time they will also develop a construction schedule and budget. Construction starts in the winter and continues into the summer. This document presents a draft business plan for OregonBILDs—a service learning program that is proposed within the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon (UO). The business plan was developed in close collaboration with the principals of the program. It is intended to provide a framework for development of the program—including organizational options, preliminary budget estimates, and an action plan for the first five years of the program.
