August 2017
In spring 2017, a group of community members from Arlington and Condon in Gilliam County created a collaborative workgroup to help create strategies to improve housing options in Gilliam. The group, in partnership with Oregon’s Kitchen Table (OKT), conducted an online consultation mid-June to mid-July 2017 to engage residents, property owners, businesses, employees and visitors to Gilliam County to weigh in on challenges and opportunities to creating housing in the county. The survey consisted of 201 participants who responded to questions about current living situations to get a sense of demand for housing followed by a series of questions about the future of Gilliam County and why people might want to live there.
