Greeley Housing Needs Assessment and Subarea Plan
Para ver este projecto en español, haga click aquí.
The City of Greeley has kicked off a Housing Needs Assessment and Subarea Plan. We'll be looking at what types of housing we need today and in the future. By the end of this assessment, we'll have an idea of what housing types, sizes, price points, and locations could serve Greeley residents from all walks of life. The project has two parts:
A Housing Needs Assessment to see the demand for all housing types in the city, focusing on affordable housing.
A Subarea Plan to show how different types of housing could be designed to fit within the community, with a priority to focus on affordable and equitable housing types first.
The Subarea Plan's focus on affordable housing prioritizes equity. It will be an important opportunity to share and celebrate how all types of housing can be well-planned and thoughtfully designed to improve neighborhoods and make them stronger.
Why study housing in Greeley? Housing touches everything and everyone in a community. Studies show a link between stable housing and positive lifelong outcomes for children. Studies also show that housing challenges affect people with lower incomes, older adults, people of color, and individuals with disabilities more.
Safe and affordable housing impacts an area’s traffic, commuting, diversity and quality of life. Upscale, mixed-use housing is also important to attract top talent in the workforce. As Greeley grows rapidly, it is essential to know what type of housing the community will need.
The City is partnering with Development Strategies to lead the effort.
This project is funded in part by a grant from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs.

Housing Needs Assessment
At Home in Greeley has finished this stage
Phase 2: Understand – What are the social, economic, and housing conditions in Greeley? When possible, we will map and organize information by neighborhood, census tract, or census block group.
Phase 3: Analyze – Here we will find the opportunities that exist, now and in the future. This will help shape development that responds to the current demand for urban and mixed-use places. This phase will include first-person surveys, interviews with development professionals, and third-party information providers.
Phase 4: Align & Report – Based on comments and feedback, we will present a final report to City Council and hold a public open house.
Subarea Plan
At Home in Greeley is currently at this stage
Phase 2: Listen – During this phase, we want to hear directly from the community. We will share the goals of the area plan and listen to understand how we can align with what the community needs. It’s important to note we must select an area to develop early in the process.
Phase 3: Envision – This phase will study land use approaches to the subarea selected. We will work with two to three scenarios for a selected development site or sites that reflect feedback around land use, open space, height, density, and pedestrian and bike connectivity. We will invite community feedback again to choose a single preferred approach.
Phase 4: Refine – Using the single preferred approach that reflects community feedback, the team will consider technical elements of implementation and a framework for updated land use regulations.
Phase 5: Finalize – The final phase is to share a summary that includes stakeholder conversation and outlines a community-driven plan.
Involve – Work directly with the public throughout the process to ensure that public concerns and aspirations are consistently understood and considered.
