Housing Needs

The Town of Ignacio has been working on assessing and addressing the housing needs in our community.  Short Elliott Hendrickson, the Engineering Firm that the Town is contracted with, did a housing assessment in 2020.  To view the report of this assessment, please click HERE.

In preparation for new housing that the Town anticipates will be added as a result of the housing needs assessment, the Planning Commission and Town Board also updated the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC).  For the complete LUDC, please click HERE.  To see the updated Zoning Map that was adopted at the same time as the LUDC, please click HERE.

To view the first quarter 2024 Regional Housing Alliance newsletter, please click HERE.  The photo at the top of the newsletter was taken during the ground-breaking ceremony at Rock Creek.  This housing project is underway with infrastructure being built now.  We hope to have the first homes available this Fall.  Stay tuned for more details.
