Final Affordable Housing Action Plan (6/22/09)

Revised Final Report Ouray County Housing Needs Assessment (with additional rental data), prepared for Ouray County, Town of Ridgway, City of Ouray; by EPS.

Background -- In 2007, Ouray County, City of Ouray and Town of Ridgway were awarded funding from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs to complete a Ouray County Housing Needs Assessment for the area. We contracted with Affordable Housing Solutions of Telluride to facilitate and complete the needs assessment. The final report is now complete. The report explores and analyzes the housing market, including wage and employment data, and will provide the county, city and town with valuable information on the state of housing in Ouray County. It was presented to the public at a public meeting on April 16, 2008.

The Housing Needs Assessment Final report was revised with updated and additional data including rental data in November 2008. | View/Download Printable Report: November 5, 2008 Revised Final Report Ouray County Housing Needs Assessment (with additional rental data), prepared for Ouray County, Town of Ridgway, City of Ouray; by EPS.
