SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall adopted a Housing Needs Assessment and Strategy in 2018. From there, City staff developed 6 specific initiatives for a Local Housing Program which have been accomplished.
A Request for Qualifications was issued to a consultant(s) to complete a Housing Action Plan. This Plan is an assessment of existing housing efforts and also creates the framework for
specific actions/initiatives for the next 5-10 years. Two submittals were received and scored. The consultant team led by WSW Consulting was selected and have experience in similar
communities.
The consultant team will conduct a process that will develop a Community Housing Action Plan as opposed to a “city” plan. This means ensuring that community stakeholders – organizations,
non-profits, developers, funders, real estate professionals, employers, and other entities – engage in a process developed by the Consultant to discuss local housing needs and work
together to devise strategies and a course of action to increase the availability of affordable housing within the community. The plan will:
Target community goals and objectives related to local housing needs;
Explore and prioritize strategies, including existing strategies;
Establish roles, responsibilities, and timing; and
Discuss a framework for the overall management, tracking, and updates of the plan.
This process will engage the community in helping to address a community-wide problem; maximize partnerships, sharing, and application of resources; and focus momentum toward a common
housing goal and objectives within the community. The attached contract was reviewed by the City Attorney.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Professional Service Contract with WSW Consulting and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
