NECESIDADES DE VIVIENDA Esta instantánea de las necesidades de vivienda en el condado de Chaffee, Colorado, se preparó como una actualización de la Evaluación y estrategia de necesidades de vivienda del condado de Chaffee, que se completó en el verano de 2016. Tiene la intención de apoyar y guiar el tiempo, el esfuerzo y la financiación futuros destinados a la producción de viviendas para trabajadores. ​ Los datos presentados subrayan la amplitud y la intensidad del problema de la vivienda en todo el condado de Chaffee. La falta de viviendas disponibles y asequibles para la fuerza laboral local está afectando negativamente la economía local y la capacidad de las personas para vivir y trabajar en la comunidad. La coordinación y colaboración entre la Autoridad de Vivienda de Chaffee, el condado de Chaffee, la ciudad de Salida, el pueblo de Buena Vista, el pueblo de Poncha Springs, los empleadores, las organizaciones sin fines de lucro, los desarrolladores/constructores y los residentes ya está en marcha. Este estudio proporciona datos actualizados sobre la cantidad, la ubicación, la tenencia, el número de habitaciones y el precio de las viviendas necesarias para que los residentes y empleados locales prosperen. ​ Además, consulte nuestro Plan Estratégico para conocer las formas en que estamos planeando abordar estos problemas.

NUESTRO PLAN Ninguna organización sola puede resolver la crisis local de vivienda. Nos tomará a todos enfrentarlo de frente: el gobierno, el sector privado, los grupos comunitarios y los individuos. Pero creemos que se puede hacer. Creemos que hay cuatro pasos que pueden proporcionar un camino que la comunidad de Chaffee pueda seguir para asegurarse de que todos nuestros trabajadores locales, familias y personas mayores tengan un lugar seguro y asequible al que llamen hogar. Nuestro plan estratégico está alineado con este camino. Estas son las cuatro cosas que debemos hacer como comunidad, y las formas específicas en que la CHA está preparada para ayudar. ​ Vea el plan estratégico de CHA 2022-2026 aquí . O descargar el plan estratégico en pdf. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ PLAN DE CUATRO PUNTOS PARA ABORDAR LA CRISIS DE VIVIENDA DE CHAFFEE 1 Cambiar las políticas gubernamentales para que las viviendas asequibles sean más alcanzables para los inquilinos y propietarios de vivienda. Objetivo de política y abogacía de CHA: Representar las necesidades de vivienda de los residentes del condado de Chaffee - es decir, hogares de bajos ingresos, hogares de ingresos moderados y personas empleadas por empleadores en el condado de Chaffee - en debates de políticas y estrategias a nivel federal, estatal y local. CHA se centrará en la equidad y la justicia al construir coaliciones de vivienda. Construir significativamente más unidades de vivienda - especialmente alquileres - para satisfacer las necesidades de los trabajadores locales, personas mayores y familias. La meta de desarrollo de vivienda de CHA: Contribuir a la construcción de unidades de vivienda permanentemente asequibles en el condado de Chaffee a través de alianzas público-privadas. 2 Establecer y apoyar programas locales - asistencia de alquiler, prevención de personas sin hogar y reubicación rápida - para miembros de la comunidad que enfrentan inseguridades de vivienda. Meta del programa de estabilidad de vivienda de CHA: Establecer, operar o promover programas locales que brinden estabilidad de vivienda a los residentes del condado de Chaffee. 3 4 Construir una organización sostenible con el mandato, la experiencia y el financiamiento para abordar temas de vivienda asequible. Meta de desarrollo organizacional de CHA: Operar la organización con el mayor profesionalismo, responsabilidad financiera y transparencia.

Because of its proximity to downtown Buena Vista, the development will be within walking distance of downtown, schools, the Arkansas River, and the South Main neighborhood. As a result, it will help solve for both parking and transportation issues in addition to providing some much needed housing to our workforce. ​ Additionally, the town of Buena Vista will be donating land in exchange for the developer building out the core and shell of a 4600 square foot childcare space. Given the pressing need for more childcare facilities, this will be very beneficial to our community. ​ None of this would be possible without the support of a great community partner in Fading West Development. They opened a 110,000 square foot state of the art manufacturing facility locally in November, 2021. Their location in Chaffee County ideally positions them to provide cost effective, high quality modular homes to communities across the state. ​ Fading West’s approach also plays a critical role in allowing us to provide housing that our workforce can afford! Modular manufacturing reduces cost up to 20% versus a stick built approach. In addition, this strategy can reduce the timeline to build by more than 50%. We are really excited by this in that anything we can do to accelerate our process gets us one step closer to addressing our housing crisis. ​ CHA entered into a special limited partnership with Fading West in July 2023. As CHA does not pay property or sales tax, the special limited partnership enables Fading West to also avoid paying taxes which helps keep rents at Midland Apartments affordable for the workforce. ​ CHA has a Special Limited Partnership Policy. This policy creates a framework, criteria, and process for how CHA will enter into special limited partnerships. It is designed for the purpose of assisting developers that wish to construct and own affordable rental housing units. ​ CHA is excited to enter into future special limited partnerships with other developers who wish to construct units that meet the needs identified in the 2022 CHA Housing Needs Assessment. These tax exemptions represent meaningful cost savings to a developer and can help a project achieve its affordability objectives. ​ The Midland Apartments will serve as a template for future projects. We need to tap into every community resource we have in order to continue making progress on the housing front. The CHA is committed to continuing to bring innovative strategies to help solve for this critically important issue. EL LUGAR DE JANE CHA has partnered with Fading West Development to bring a meaningful workforce housing development to the county. This agreement will serve as a blueprint for other successful public private partnerships between CHA and other developers. ​ The project known as Midland Apartments is located on Carbonate Street in Buena Vista. The development includes 30 studios, 24 one-bedroom units, and six two-bedroom units. All 60 units will be deed restricted at area median incomes ranging from 80%-120%. ​ ​

CONTINUO DE CUIDADO A Continuum of Care is (CoC) es un enfoque colaborativo que ayuda a las comunidades a planificar y proporcionar una gama completa de servicios de apoyo y vivienda de emergencia, transitorios y permanentes para abordar las diversas necesidades de las personas que tienen una vivienda insegura. El Continuum of Care del Balance of State (BoS) de Colorado está organizado en 10 grupos de planificación regional, de los cuales el condado de Chaffee, junto con los condados de Fremont, Custer, Lake, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Park y Teller, constituyen el grupo Upper Arkansas Valley. ​ El Continuum of Care (CoC) del condado de Chaffee se creó en 2022, reuniendo a organizaciones comunitarias de todo el condado que atienden a miembros de la comunidad tanto sin hogar como con vivienda insegura. Estas organizaciones van desde proporcionar servicios de salud mental conductual y para veteranos, hasta operar un refugio de emergencia de invierno para hombres y mujeres, hasta empoderar a las personas afectadas por la violencia doméstica. Coordinados por el nuevo Navegador de Vivienda de CHA, estos grupos ahora se reúnen dos veces al mes para trabajar en colaboración para lograr el objetivo principal de "vivienda primero, y luego acceso a otros servicios y recursos necesarios para miembros de la comunidad con inseguridad de vivienda".
