Housing and Human Services Advisory Board Interviews, July 9, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado's Housing and Human Services Advisory Board met on July 9, 2026, primarily to discuss updates to the inclusionary housing ordinance and fee-in-lieu (FNLoo) calculations. Staff presented detailed analysis on affordable housing development costs, market rent trends, and proposed adjustments to the fee-in-lieu rates for both for-sale and rental units. The board considered optional policy changes to incentivize attached housing development and to increase rental fees to support deeper affordability. Additionally, the board reviewed funding allocation methodologies for human services programs, debating the establishment of minimum scoring thresholds for grant funding and contingency plans for surplus funds. A motion to adopt a middle-ground scoring floor of 3.25 was passed, aiming to balance funding impact and program inclusivity. The meeting also included introductions of new board members and discussions about upcoming grant cycles and evaluation processes.
