The Chaffee Housing Authority Board of Directors and Staff will be hosting community events on Monday, August 8th to discuss the organization’s strategic plan and recruit volunteers to support a ballot initiative to create a dedicated funding stream for attainable and affordable housing in Chaffee County that will likely appear on the November 2022 County ballot.
Volunteers will be participants in the soon-to-be-formed ballot issue committee called Chaffee Housing Solutions. Chaffee Housing Solutions will be hosting recruitment events on August 8th, 2022, from
5:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the following locations:
● Soulcraft Brewery in Salida
● Deerhammer Distillery in Buena Vista
“This housing crisis cannot be addressed with state and federal financial resources alone; Chaffee
County needs local, consistent, and sustainable funding sources to respond to our unique local needs,”
said Becky Gray, Director of Chaffee Housing Authority.
Chaffee County communities are facing a severe housing affordability crisis, one that is pushing out –
or keeping out – local workforce, friends, and neighbors. The Chaffee Housing Authority has
established a strategic plan to address the issue, and has been successfully establishing and operating
programs to get people into safe, stable, and affordable housing.
