Longmont Housing & Human Services Advisory Board Meeting, June 11, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado's Housing & Human Services Advisory Board met on June 11, 2026, to discuss award recommendations for affordable housing funding to be presented to the City Council on June 23. The board reviewed a proposed allocation of approximately $2.6 million from the city's affordable housing fund and $2.88 million from Boulder County funds for a Habitat for Humanity project, aiming to serve 161 low-income residents. The meeting focused heavily on refining the funding application and evaluation process, including council directives to implement a $10,000 minimum application threshold, establish a two-tiered scoring system with a cutoff score for funding consideration, and encourage smaller agencies to submit collaborative applications to increase impact and efficiency. The board also discussed balancing funding between larger and smaller nonprofits, ensuring high-impact investments, and maintaining program outcome tracking. The timeline for the next funding cycle was outlined, with applications due August 12, hearings in September and October, and deliberations in November. The board plans to develop rubrics and models for scoring and funding allocation in upcoming meetings.
