DRCOG previews regional housing strategy, flags funding pathways and implementation steps
Summary
DRCOG staff presented a draft regional housing strategy tied to Metro Vision goals. The plan centers on a regional needs assessment, five action areas and potential tools such as a pooled regional housing and infrastructure fund; staff will return to advisory groups in the next six weeks to stress-test strategies.
DRCOG staff on Jan. 7 updated the board on a draft regional housing strategy intended to implement Metro Vision’s housing goals across the 59‑jurisdiction Denver region.
Sheila Lynch, DRCOG director of regional planning and development, and Reagan Frew, senior planner, said the strategy builds on a regional housing needs assessment and advances five action areas: land use and zoning, infrastructure, development costs and market factors, funding and capacity, and community consensus and collective action. The strategy is intended to support, not replace, local efforts and to provide technical assistance and regionally scaled tools.
