Affordable Housing and Arvada

Housing prices and availability are hot topics in Arvada today and the City is taking a close look at various affordable housing options in our community. Many Arvadans don't make enough money to comfortably pay rent or a mortgage, even while working a full-time job. Long-time residents are finding it difficult to stay in their homes or downsize affordably.

Neighborhood character, design, and quality are important to us all. As Arvada continues to grow, how will we blend the old with the new and re-purpose what needs re-imagining? We want to hear from you!

Encouraging sustainable housing that uses little energy such as solar, energy conserving construction, xeriscaping, reduces costs over time.

One of the most important things we can do is to produce housing where affordability is measured and constantly increases over time and that can be done by designs and construction that reduce energy use, reduce water use, reduce waste, and provide alternative means of low cost transportation thus reducing those costs for families and households leaving more money for housing costs.
