Is Madras meeting its housing production goals?

The city of Madras has built 250 new housing units in the last three years, putting it ahead of production goals set in 2023. The 2023 Housing Needs Analysis outlined the need for 1,116 new dwellings in Madras by 2043 and broke down that goal by both housing type and household income levels. Split evenly throughout the next 20 years, there would be an annual goal of roughly 56 homes built. This means that between 2023 and 2026, 224 new housing units need to have been built to keep up with predicted population growth. Since 2023, 250 new housing units have been started. Madras Community Development director Nick Snead said these developments are assumed to be completed, putting Madras ahead of its goals. More than 85% of those units are single-family dwellings. “The city exceeding housing production goals reflects past efforts to simplify regulations and streamline permitting,” Nick Snead, the city’s community development director, said.
