The Longmont Housing and Human Services Advisory Board meeting (Nov. 12, 2026, per the title) reviewed a consultant’s housing needs assessment prepared to meet Colorado Senate Bill 24-174 requirements and inform a housing action plan planned for 2027. The assessment estimated a need for about 4,300 new homes over 10 years, with roughly two-thirds affordable to households below 100% of area median income, and identified a gap of about 3,000 rental units affordable below 50% AMI. Discussion covered affordable housing supply and preservation, infill and redevelopment costs, and potential redevelopment priorities including the transit-station area and the former sugar mill. Staff also outlined a proposed amendment to the 2026 action plan to repurpose $305,000 from a $500,000 allocation associated with a planned inclusionary-housing land donation. Separately, staff described a proposed $30,000 grant to Thistle for early feasibility work—including appraisal, capital-needs assessment, and legal support—to help residents of the 81-lot Mountain View Mobile Home Park assess whether they could purchase the park. The amendment and grant were presented as proposals for Council consideration; no board vote on them was recorded.

The board also reviewed human-services grant recommendations. Applicants requested about $2.609 million against approximately $1.626 million available. The process included a 91-point minimum score for consideration and tiered award percentages; staff noted application rules including a $10,000 minimum request and a guideline limiting requests to 30% of a program’s costs. The board approved forwarding the funding recommendations to Council and voted to direct the remaining $1,018 to a separate homelessness funding pot. Members discussed revisiting the application structure for the 2028 cycle, including whether to limit applications by agency or priority area, but made no policy change at this meeting.
