SIP Topic: Home Grown – Built to Live, Love, Last
“Colorado Springs and El Paso County aren’t building enough homes that typical buyers can afford, while smaller houses and other types of housing options are needed to make housing more attainable for many people, including young adults… and seniors….” That’s the conclusion of a recent report by the Pikes Peak Housing Network.
Jill Gaebler, Executive Director, will tell us about how the PPHN is meeting the challenge of supporting “innovative and collaborative solutions to promote housing affordability, access and production” in the Pikes Peak Region. The Network’s mission involves advocating for sustainability principles like infill and redevelopment and access to transportation options, employment and living wages, cultural activities, green space, and more.
Affordable, accessible housing is key to the establishment of a regional culture and resilient, sustainable built environment essential to a healthy economy, quality of life, attractive workforce environment, and personal health now and in the future.
The presentation will be recorded and available on Studio 809’s Peak Environment Podcast. Please allow for two to three weeks for the production of the podcast. You can also listen to past SIP presentations on Peak 809 Podcasts at peakallianceco.org.
