Windsor Housing Needs Assessment and Housing Action Plan

Background

The Town of Windsor has partnered with Matrix Design Group to prepare a community-wide Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) and Housing Action Plan (HAP) that will follow Colorado Senate Bill 24-174 standards. The HNA was approved and adopted on April 27, 2026. Please see the attached HNA below.

The Housing Action is currently in development and expected to be completed in July, 2026

What is a Housing Action Plan?

A Housing Action Plan is a comprehensive guide of recommendations and implementation strategies for tackling Windsor’s housing concerns (identified in HNA)

Key components:

• Community Engagement: Input from stakeholders, residents, and local experts
• Housing Strategies: Regulatory updates to increase housing diversity and affordability
• Policy Review: Evaluation of existing policies, regulations, and programs
• Incentives and approval process streamlining: Utilizing local, state, and federal partnerships and funding mechanisms
• Program development and expansion/Public-private and intergovernmental partnerships
• Implementation Guide: A roadmap for local government action and progress measurement

Public Involvement

Participate in the planning process and add your perspective. The project’s engagement program is designed to be inclusive enough to capture Windsor’s diverse perspectives yet focused enough to produce actionable feedback. Opportunities to participate will be offered both online and in person throughout the study.

Ways to participate:

• Project Website (ProjectConnect): Visit this page for project updates, draft documents, event notices, and opportunities to share feedback.
• Public Hearings: Draft and final plans will be presented to the Planning Commission and Town Board for community testimony before adoption.
• Stakeholder Engagement Sessions: Focus groups, interviews, and other targeted meetings will invite detailed feedback from key community voices.

Your feedback helps identify specific housing challenges faced by Windsor’s residents. Community input informs the creation and refinement of housing strategies tailored to Windsor’s unique needs. By participating in the process, you contribute to building community-wide support for the plan, which increases its chances of successful implementation.
