Communities within the valley boast a long history of successful workforce housing initiatives, facilitated through public-private partnerships, development regulations, land trades, and the leveraging of local funds.

There exists an opportunity to build on these successes to forge a more consistent, unified approach moving forward. This can be achieved by integrating housing efforts into comprehensive community planning that preserves and enhances the sense of place, local or family orientation, social opportunities, and proximity to services and entertainment.

How do we create the future our community deserves?

Preserving homes to be sold as primary residences, including buy-downs or other incentives to encourage deed restrictions on homes being sold.

Ensuring that Eagle County remains a community where seniors can retire and our children and grandchildren can return to live and work in their hometowns.

Continuing to support down payment assistance programs.

A diversity of housing options is needed, including both attached and detached products, with a range of price points, upgrade options, and amenities.

Both rental and ownership housing that is affordable to the local workforce is essential.

Housing located near workplaces reduces commute times and fosters increased volunteerism.

Providing owners of deed-restricted homes priority for new ownership opportunities creates movement within the current housing inventory.
