THE CHALLENGE

The housing gap is staggering.

Thousands of units are needed today to stabilize our current workforce and prevent further loss of the people we have.

WHY?

  • The Free Market Has Failed – Housing prices are driven by second-home buyers, investors, and outside wealth—not local wages.
  • Luxury-Focused Development – Nearly all new market-rate housing serves the luxury market, not local workers.
  • Rising Rental Costs – Families priced out of homeownership remain trapped in the rental market, driving rents higher.
  • Retiring Workforce – As longtime homeowners retire and leave the valley, their homes return to the free market at prices replacement workers cannot afford.
  • Growing Housing Deficit – The valley has underbuilt workforce housing for decades, leaving thousands of homes needed today.
