a family of 2 adults and 2 kids needed 2 minimum wage jobs to make ends meet in boulder.
But we need additional resources to meet the needs of temporary housing and expanded eviction prevention.
units are actually designed for But families have different housing needs than individuals. They need more bedrooms.
preserve our market based affordable housing, which is basically our mobile home parks.
About occupancy. Adus, you know, fast tracking, affordable housing to be built.
They're often doubled up and tripled up in those mobile home parks. but it is really where a lot of the families with kids live.
policies to kind of upgrade mobile home parks if it if it adds any more cost to the base of that renter
we've really, really sort of good news where we've landed is the concept that 90% of the homeless.
a lot of folks that are experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homeless are in that sort of older adult age range.
