5. NEW BUSINESS
• 2022 Spring Competitive Process – Ranking of Affordable Housing Applications
• Sue reviewed the Guiding Principles of the Housing Strategic Plan
• Board members engaged in discussion and agreed on the following:
• All applications are for great projects.
• The most valued projects were those that supported a wide range of Area Media
Income (AMI) rents and those that targeted the lowest wage earners.
• New construction ranked as the highest priority, followed by homeownership
because of the ability to build equity. Renovation projects ranked as the lowest
priority, but all the projects are important to increase or preserve affordable
housing inventory.
• Applications ranked in order of priority:
• Housing Catalyst’s Impala Housing Project
• CARE Housing Heartside Hill
• Elevation Community Land Trust Kechter Townhomes
• Habitat for Humanity Poudre Build 8
• Neighbor to Neighbor Phase 2 Rehab – 44 Apartments
• Housing Catalyst’s Village on Bryan Renovation
Jennifer Bray moved to recommend the current order as discussed and amended.
John Singleton seconded. Approved 4-0.
Bob Pawlikowski and Kristin Fritz abstained.
• A Fall Competitive Funding Process is not likely. City ordinance requires excess funding and a
project with an immediate need.
• A total of $2.6 million in HOME ARP funding will be available for projects and programs that
meet specific criteria: this includes serving populations earning less than 30% AMI, providing
non-congregate shelter, preventing homelessness, or serving those at risk of homelessness.
Beth Rosen will present more regarding HOME ARP at June meeting.
