AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
2006 Work Plan
Affordable housing is a critical component of the economic health,
sustainability, and vitality of the city of Fort Collins.
The citizens of Fort Collins recognized the importance of affordable housing
in their community when they listed affordable housing as the THIRD
highest community value in the 2003 Fort Collins Community Survey.
The Affordable Housing Board will focus its efforts on providing education
and advocacy for affordable housing to the Fort Collins City Council by:
1) Advocating for the need for affordable housing in our community,
specifically, educating the City Council on the important
relationship between economic vitality and affordable housing.
2) Continue to focus the Council on matching funding to affordable
housing goals.
3) Reviewing all proposed land use issues (i.e. infill development)
and providing input to the City Council on the impact of these
issues on affordable housing.
4) Providing input to the City Council on impact fees in general, and
revisiting the impact fee rebate program.
5) Monitoring the Development Review Process and providing
comments to staff and City Council.
The Affordable Housing Board will continue its ongoing work in the
following areas:
- Recognizing the interdependence of affordable housing and a
multitude of other areas, board members will maintain liaison
positions to other groups, including:
o Jon Fairchild — Catholic Charities Northern
o Denise Rogers — Planning and Zoning Commission
o Joe Hebert — Commission on Disability
o Pete Tippett — Board of Realtors
Continue to play a critical role in the Competitive Review process
by reviewing all housing proposals and forwarding priority
rankings to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Commission.
