Housing Solutions Community Brainstorm
Consultation has concluded
Do you have ideas and solutions to help address housing challenges in Boulder? The Housing Advisory Board wants to hear them.
The newly formed Housing Advisory Board (HAB) wants to brainstorm housing solutions with Boulder residents. They are offering two ways to participate:
- In-person at HAB’s Aug, 22 meeting. This meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers in the Municipal Building at 1777 Broadway. Each speaker will have up to five minutes to present their solution. Sign-ups will begin at 5:45 p.m. Contact Cori Marin, MarinC@bouldercolorado.gov, if you have questions about making a presentation.
- Online here at Be Heard Boulder, where participants can submit their housing solutions and vote on other submissions. This online participation option will close on Sept 5.
The input provided online and in-person will be used by HAB members to help inform their work plan, find trends, identify synergies with current city work and bring great ideas forward as recommendations to city council and boards.

Work with CU to build more student housing
CU has the land and 30,000 students are one of the biggest reasons our rental rates stay so high... Even 500 more affordable student housing units would make a huge impact on the rental rates.
