wait until they are moving out to reach out. There is a new online tracking system starting this
year, previously there was no organized tracking system. There are postcards available in
English and Spanish to spread the word. Registration challenges have led to a patchwork of
incentives to have property owners register early. Smaller properties are registering, larger
property management companies are waiting, potentially due to budget. The general sentiment
of property owners is unfavorable toward the requirements – possibly linked to additional
changed state-wide requirements. Annual registration with complaint-based inspections allows
for lower and a flat-fee structure. Larimer County is starting a housing solutions department, and
this allows for more collaboration between the City and county. Educational Programming will be
available annually during registration. Rental Repair Grants have provided funding to improve
rental housing stock and maintain naturally occurring affordable housing. There is a focus on
potential policy changes to not only address the recurring issues and bad actors, but also the
lack of awareness.
b. Discuss Parking Minimums
• Bob Pawlikowski made a motion to approve sending the memo as amended and for the chair to
send to city council, Stefanie Berganini seconded. Approved 7-0.
c. 2025 Work Plan
• John Singleton proposed having one board representative at Council once a month to listen and
give a statement if necessary. Sue Beck-Ferkiss shared the 2025 Work Plan, and the board
agreed to add a retreat for the coming year. Review is needed to confirm the version of the 2025
Work Plan includes verbiage discussed at last year’s meeting. The 2025 Work Plan will be
reviewed as well as Committee names/roles in December.
d. Board Priority Committee Reports
• Knowledge Repository – Bob Pawlikowski & John Singleton
• No operational updates. John and Bob will meet with Tamra and Jessi to discuss
website update possibilities.
• Outreach, Education and Partnerships – Claire Bouchard & Josh Beard
• No new updates. Planning for meetings out in the community is in progress.
• Council and Local Legislative Support – Stefanie Berganini, John Singleton & Nina Clark
• Withdrew camping memo from this meeting and pushed to December.
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Affordable Housing – Stefanie Berganini & Jorja Whyte
• Equity and Justice language was suggested in place of DEI. CSU Housing Caucus still
working on Prospect Plaza issue – Q&A session being offered for current residents
impacted. ASCSU in initial stage of drafting a renter’s rights bill for state legislature
focusing on extra fees from larger property complexes. Ideas for committee work:
Vacancies in communication opportunities like social media for education and housing
resources. Accessibility of local and political engagement – potential resource guide for
community members on how to testify at local council meetings, among other
opportunities.

From:Affordable Housing Board (AHB)Chair John Singleton
To:City Council
Re:Criminalizing Homelessness -City of Grants Pass v.Johnson
The Affordable Housing Board (AHB)advises City Council on matters pertaining to affordable
housing issues of concern to the City.As such,and especially in light of the Supreme Court’s
recent City of Grants Pass v.Johnson decision,we advise that Council seriously consider
updates to the City’s regulations pertaining to camping that serve to criminalize unsheltered
homelessness.
In particular,the Board recommends that Council:
●Update Section 17-181 of the municipal code which deems camping on public property
in the City of Fort Collins “unlawful.”We urge the City to remove any language that
results in criminalization or financial punishments for public camping.The City should
adopt an approach to protecting public health and safety relating to public camping that
does not result in carceral or financial ramifications.Criminalizing or fining individuals for
sleeping in public spaces only serves to exacerbate challenges to obtaining stable
housing,which is in direct conflict with the City’s 10-year plan to make homelessness
rare,short-lived and non-recurring.
●Truncate Section 17-182a of the municipal code to read “It is unlawful for any person to
camp or to knowingly permit any person to camp,as defined in §17-181,on private
property within the City,except on the premises of a residential dwelling with the
permission of the property owner.”,with no further qualifications.
●Section 17-182b deems sleeping in motor vehicles to be “unlawful.”We propose that
the city proactively work to institutionalize a safe and legal means for people to sleep in
their cars.The Colorado Safe Parking Initiative,for example,is looking to partner with
local governments toward achieving this goal.The Affordable Housing Board’s outreach
sub-committee would like to make themselves available for par tnership with the city in
identifying potential community partners.Car camping offers a relatively safe form of
shelter and stability that also frees up bed capacity in an already insufficient overnight
shelter system.
Though Fort Collins Police Ser vices does not currently arrest individuals or families for
camping,it is essential that the rights of our homeless neighbors be codified and protected in
the long term.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
John Singleton,Chair
On behalf of the Affordable Housing Board
City of Fort Collins
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
2025 Work Plan
The Affordable Housing Board (AHB) will make recommendations to the Council on
policy and programing to guide the City’s efforts to reach the goals of the Housing
Strategic Plan in addition to assisting with the implementation of the Housing Strategic
Plan.
Demand for affordable housing continues to outpace supply in the City. The AHB will
focus its efforts on increasing and preserving the City’s affordable housing inventory
and providing support to consumers of affordable housing by taking the following
actions:
• Promote implementation of the 26 strategies contained in the Housing Strategic
Plan including those incorporated from the 2015-2019 Affordable Housing
Strategic Plan:
o Strategy 4.1 – Increase the Inventory of Affordable Rental Units
o Strategy 4.2 – Preserve the Long-term Affordability and Physical Condition
of Exiting Stock of Housing
o Strategy 4.3 – Increase Housing and Supportive Services for People with
Special Needs
o Strategy 4.4 – Support opportunities to obtain and sustain affordable
homeownership
o Strategy 4.5 – Refine development incentives and expand funding sources
and partnerships
• Participate in/collaborate with other committees and workgroups convened by the
City Council, staff, board members or citizens, in order to advocate and educate
on issues related to affordable housing.
• Work with City staff and stakeholders in providing input on implementing the
updated Housing Strategic Plan to preserve and increase housing options across
the spectrum, meeting the needs of all Fort Collins residents. The Board will
continue to prioritize funding for residents making no more than 80% AMI while
encouraging more housing options for all City residents. For rental housing, the
Board will prioritize funding for residents making no more than 60% AMI.
• Work with staff on implementation of City Plan, as it relates to housing, to ensure
and increase affordable housing options will meet the needs of all Fort Collins
residents through the City’s long-term planning horizon.
• Continue to play a critical role in the Competitive Process by reviewing all
affordable housing proposals and meeting with the Human Services and Housing
Funding Board (HSHFB) to discuss specific proposals and share priority rankings
with them and the City Council.
• Continue to work with staff to review and evaluate the effectiveness of the City’s
current incentives to developers to produce affordable housing units, and
recommend modifications, new incentives, and building code revisions (including
increasing capacity and considering zoning) to City Council. Also continuing to
work with staff to provide input on Land Use regulations update.
• Continue investigating incentives to preserve the current available stock of
affordable housing including consultations with staff and the Neighborhood
Services Department on mobile home parks..
• Assist staff in reviewing the Land Bank program’s implementation and potentially
recommend changes to improve the program.
• Review proposed policy, regulations, and code provisions regarding development
(e.g., Metro Districts, development fees, density) to provide input to the City
Council on the impact of these issues on housing affordability.
• Research and educate City Council, the general public, and others on issues
affecting affordable housing and on the potential for additional and current funding
sources for the City’s various affordable housing funds to provide financial
resources to affordable housing programs and projects.
• Stay informed and advise staff and Council when considering whether the City
should impose an affordable housing impact fee and/or inclusionary zoning or
other dedicated on-going source of revenue.
• Advocate for the need for housing affordability for the entire spectrum of wage
earners in our community, specifically:
o Engage with City Council through written and oral communication
o Attend other public meetings including visiting with other City Boards and
Commissions to stress the important relationship between economic,
environmental, and social vitality
o Use triple bottom line values as applied to affordable housing policy,
regulation, facilitation, and funding
o Seek additional understanding as to how people of color, disabled and
other under-represented populations are negatively affected by local
systems, policies and assumptions, in their efforts to attain appropriate
housing .
• AHB members may attend City Council meetings and address Council on matters
pertaining to housing. A detailed discussion with the Board’s Council liaison is
planned quarterly.
• Work in the following committees to further the Board’s work:
o Knowledge Repository;
o Outreach, Education and Partnerships;
o Council and Local Legislative Support; and
o Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Affordable Housing.
• Monitor the community’s efforts to end homelessness.
• Monitor the community’s efforts to make home ownership achievable.
• Schedule a Board retreat.
• Be informed by staff of all requests for certification of affordable housing projects.
• At least quarterly, review the Board’s Work Plan to assure the AHB work is
accomplished.
• Board members will consider liaison positions to other boards and commissions,
as possible, including but not limited to:
o Planning and Zoning Commission
o Board of Realtors
o Economic Advisory Board
o Transportation Board
o Human Relations Commission
o Disability Advisory Board
o Senior Advisory Board
o Human Services and Housing Funding Board
