City of Grand Junction's Involvement with Affordable Housing in the Grand Valley

The City of Grand Junction does not provide affordable housing, but we do coordinate with other organizations in an effort to help increase the availability of affordable housing. If you have questions regarding City of Grand Junction Affordable Housing involvement, please contact Sheryl Trent at 970-256-4085 or by e-mail.

The City of Grand Junction's emphasis on Affordable Housing stems from the Strategic Plan in which Affordable Housing is one of six Solution Areas. The Solution Area and objectives are as follows:

Solution Area : SHELTER AND HOUSING THAT ARE ADEQUATE
All City residents will have adequate shelter, whether their need is for permanent or temporary housing. (10–15 years)

-- OBJECTIVES :

22A Identify and convene policy level working partners, developing and promoting public/private partnerships to address funding opportunities and relationships with existing and potential public agencies, not-for-profits and the private sector.

22B With professional assistance discuss and adopt a common methodology to address housing issues.

22C Identify and allocate City resources (financial and other) available for project implementation.

22D Initiate and participate in the development of at least one project benefiting each of the target populations as identified at the Affordable Housing Forum.
