LYONS HOUSING FUTURES PLAN


HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND ATTAINABILITY IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT COLORADO AND THE NATION ARE EXPERIENCING. THE TOWN OF LYONS IS
CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH A HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING
OF HOW BEST TO GUIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICY AND INVESTMENTS TO BEST SUPPORT
THE NEEDS OF THE LYONS COMMUNITY.




AFFORDABLE HOUSING? ATTAINABLE HOUSING? BOTH?

The terms affordable housing and attainable housing often get combined to mean
the same thing when discussing community housing needs, however they are, in
fact, quite different. Given the range of housing needs for a community with a
diverse population, it is important to consider both when working to develop
policy updates and investment strategies to support the needs of any community.
General definitions for each are outlined, below, however a key piece of this
project is to define affordable and attainable housing as it relates to Lyons
and what types of housing are appropriate to develop to support the Town’s
current and future needs.


AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Affordable housing serves those households whose income represents 30% to 60% of
Boulder’s Area Median Income (AMI). General practice states that a household can
afford monthly housing costs (rent/mortgage payment) that are 30% or less of
that household’s gross monthly income.

For example, a family of 3 with a gross monthly income of $5,980 ($71,760 annual
income or 60%AMI) can afford a monthly rent or mortgage payment of $1,794 or
less.

Adapted from the Lyons Primary Planning Area Master Plan (2017)


ATTAINABLE HOUSING

Attainable housing is often also considered or referred to as Workforce housing
and typically serves those households whose income represents 60% to 120% of
Boulder’s Area Median Income (AMI).

For example, a family of 3 with a gross monthly income of $9,960 a month
($119,600 annual income or 100% AMI) can afford a monthly rent or mortgage
payment of $2,990/month or less.
