5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Board Discussion on Community Engagement
• The Board discussed the importance of focusing on increasing community engagement
in 2023, which includes increasing awareness about projects the Board is working on
and policies related to affordable housing in Fort Collins. The Board also discussed
ways in which they can gather more community feedback so that these perspectives
can be integrated into the Board’s decisions.
• Several ideas were discussed, including but not limited to community education,
partnering with organizations involved in affordable housing projects, making the
Board’s activities more easily accessible to the public, publishing affordable housing
pieces in local publications, creating QR codes to be posted in public spaces, and
creating an online form where community members can share their thoughts and
opinions with the Board.
• John Singleton suggested that the Affordable Housing Board attend the Land Use Code
Event that will be held at the Lincoln Center on May 8 so they can be available to
answer community questions.
B. 2023 Spring Competitive Process – Ranking of Affordable Housing Applications
• Beth Rosen, Grants Compliance & Policy Manager at the City of Fort Collins, joined the
Affordable Housing Board members for a presentation regarding the City’s housing
goals and the evaluation of housing proposals entering the competitive grant process’s
alignment with those goals. The presentation offered insight into the different
components of a project proposal, including but not limited to the income of the
populations being served, funding history, debt service ratio, and total City subsidy per
unit. Beth Rosen reminded the Board that although the Board engages in ranking the
Affordable Housing Applications, they do not make funding recommendations. Several
board members followed up with clarifying questions for Beth Rosen.
• Board members engaged in discussion and agreed on the following:
• All applications are for great projects that deserve funding support.
• Some board members prioritized projects that provided more units and/or
were able to serve a greater number of residents.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
0 4 /06 /202 3 – M I N U TES Page 3
• The board expressed their appreciation for the variety of projects submitted
this year. Noting that non-traditional projects (such as L’Arche Homes at

provided a more holistic view of housing needs and supports, and broadened
the scope of what it means to provide equitable housing. The Board hopes to
receive more project proposals like this in future years.
• Applications ranked in order of priority:
1. CARE Housing – Heartside Hill
2. Elevation Community Land Trust – Kechter Townhomes
3. Villages Ltd – 2155 West Plum
4. Habitat for Humanity – Harmony Cottages
5. L’Arche Fort Collins – L’Arche Homes at Heartside Hill
6. City of Fort Collins Forestry Division – Homeowner Tree Removal Assistance
Program
Jennifer Bray motioned to recommend the current rankings and for the Board Chair to send
