Daggett County seeks more applicants for self-help workforce housing; commissioners consider Q&A outreach
Summary
Commissioners said two applicants are approved, two pending and the program needs at least four qualified households; they discussed outreach including a Q&A session and flyers to local institutions to recruit applicants.
Daggett County commissioners discussed the status of an affordable workforce self-help housing program on March 20 and agreed to step up outreach after officials said the program remains short of the needed number of qualified households.
County staff reported two approved participants and two pending applications; the program requires four qualified households to proceed. Commissioners said one individual who had been discussed earlier does not qualify based on income. Commissioners and staff proposed a public Q&A session, social-media posts and physical flyers to local institutions such as the Forest Service and schools to encourage applications. One commissioner suggested holding an evening in-person question-and-answer meeting and also offering a Zoom option.
Staff and commissioners said they will follow up with potential applicants and with local partners, and requested materials be prepared for an upcoming Thursday meeting. No formal action or funding allocation was made during the discussion.
