Nathan Wildfire, a community and economic development professional and founder of the Missing Middle Housing Fund, joins Kim Allchurch Flick for a discussion about why housing is scarce and expensive and what can be done.
Nathan traces his inspiration from growing up in post-industrial Pittsburgh and from his grandmother’s lifelong HUD-related work building senior housing, leading to a belief that housing choice underpins thriving people, places, and economies.
He explains the “missing middle” (households at 80–120% of area median income) who earn too much for subsidies but not enough to avoid cost burden, and describes long commutes harming employers’ hiring and retention in places like Newberg and Boardman.
The fund acts as a connector among communities and innovators across finance, policy, workforce, and building methods, highlighting projects like Yamhill County’s digitized zoning codes via UrbanForm and Newberg’s Hive cottage-cluster showcasing modular, mass timber, and other construction technologies, while sharing funding sources, expansion interest beyond Oregon, and personal reflections on housing stability.
