NoCo Housing NOW

About the Initiative

NoCo Housing NOW is a collaborative coalition that acts as a key advocate and influencer in Northern Colorado, dedicated to addressing the region’s housing challenges and ensuring housing options and relative affordability for its residents. The coalition comprises influential members, including the Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce, the Cities of Greeley and Fort Collins, Larimer and Weld County, the Town of Windsor, Fort Collins Habitat for Humanity, the Northern Colorado Home Builders Association, the NoCo Rental Housing Association, IRES, and the Fort Collins Board of Realtors. Driven by the recognition of the housing crisis and the increasing need for affordable housing options, NoCo Housing NOW was formed in response to the findings and insights of Talent 2.0. Its primary objective is to explore and evaluate a range of effective affordable housing policies to address the current housing challenges and meet the growing demand in the region.

The coalition’s impact extends beyond advocacy and awareness-building. NoCo Housing NOW actively engages with policymakers, community leaders, and stakeholders to drive meaningful change and stimulate comprehensive solutions. By harnessing the collective expertise and diverse perspectives of its members, NoCo Housing NOW aims to foster collaboration and innovative approaches that can transform the housing landscape in Northern Colorado. Through strategic partnerships, data-driven initiatives, and consistent communication, NoCo Housing NOW endeavors to influence policy decisions, promote inclusive planning, and stimulate investment in housing-related infrastructure. By championing the cause of housing options and relative affordability, the coalition plays a vital role in shaping a sustainable and thriving community, where residents have access to safe, stable, and reasonably priced housing options that meet their needs.
