WHY DOES HOUSING MATTER?

More Than Housing. It’s About Broomfield’s Future.

Housing affordability is about more than housing. It’s about our workforce, our economy, and our quality of life.

Connect housing and jobs so people who work in Broomfield have more opportunities to live in the community they serve.

When people can live, work, and stay in Broomfield, our businesses, services, and community are stronger.

Investing in housing means investing in Broomfield.

Housing Is Community Infrastructure

Housing is about where people live AND whether housing types exist that match what employers pay in Broomfield. 

When housing costs rise, the impact reaches across our community:

  • Schools and healthcare providers struggle to attract and retain workers.

  • Local businesses have a harder time filling essential jobs.

  • Strengthen our local economy by creating housing options that are attainable at the wages Broomfield employers pay.

  • First responders and essential workers are pushed farther from the communities they serve.

  • Older adults have fewer options to remain in Broomfield.

  • Young families face greater barriers to putting down roots.

  • Support people with disabilities who need safe, stable, affordable housing as they transition from living with aging parents or other family caregivers.
