Ouray County Housing Advisory Committee Strategic Plan 2018-2023

This 5-year strategic plan provides a roadmap for the Ouray County Housing Advisory Committee (OCHAC) to ensure access to safe, affordable ownership and rental housing for residents and workforce in Ouray County. The plan's mission is to empower individuals to build lives within the community by addressing existing and future housing needs. Key strategic areas include developing framework documents, generating revenues, establishing a dedicated housing authority, creating resource materials, supporting entities and use applications, implementing zoning and regulatory changes, and hosting educational forums. The plan aims to develop or preserve 210 affordable housing units by 2015 (referring to an earlier plan) and sets goals for income mix and location distribution, with an overarching focus on sustainability and broad community responsibility.
