Joel Madsen, co-manager of the Housing Accountability and Production Office (HAPO)
THE GORGE — Joel Madsen, former executive director of the Mid-Columbia Housing Authority, has been announced as a co-manager of the Housing Accountability and Production Office (HAPO), along with Tony Rocco.
HAPO will “coordinate and bolster Oregon’s housing production, creating a more predictable regulatory environment, [as well as] supporting local governments” said a press release. The ultimate goal, said Gov. Tina Kotek, is to “get more people into homes they can afford.”
“Creating safe and affordable places for people to call home has been my passion and motivation throughout my 20-year career,” Madsen said. “I am prepared and excited for the opportunity to address Oregon’s housing needs at a statewide scale. I look forward to working with cities and developers as we systemically advance housing production. I’m grateful for this opportunity to help lead DLCD’s [Department of Land Conservation and Development] housing, accountability and production initiative so we can move the needle by increasing equitable housing opportunities, creating greater government coordination and accountability, and, ultimately, increase housing production in Oregon communities.”
