The Plan is a roadway to achieve steady improvements in housing stock,
systems, and services; and to enhance the quality of life for those
individuals who are homeless or low income.
I must acknowledge the dedication of the Task Force members whose names are
provided as part of our plan. I wish to highlight the efforts of the
Executive Committee of the Task Force and those members who represented the

SECTION I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force, which was formed by the Board of Weld County
_ Commissioners on June 8, 1992, concluded a two-year planning process in June, 1994. This planning
process resulted in the Comprehensive Housing Development Plan of Weld County.
The mission of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force was to assist the Board of Weld County
Commissioners,in cooperation with the City of Greeley,the United Way of Weld County, and other various
organizations and municipalities in developing a comprehensive and strategic plan that will respond to the
present and future housing and shelter needs of Weld County's homeless and low income populations
including migrants,elderly, and other special needs groups.
A cooperative agreement was entered into and among the Board of Weld County Commissioners, City
Council of Greeley and the Board of Directors of United Way of Weld County to develop this comprehensive
plan.
The Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force organized itself into four committees for the purpose of
developing recommendations affecting:
• Long-Term Housing
• Transitional Housing
• Emergency Housing
• Migrant Housing
To support the mission of the Task Force,an aggressive planning course was pursued through the formation
of goals and by encouraging community leaders,elected officials,State and federal representatives and others
to be involved in the process.
The Comprehensive Housing Development Plan of Weld County embodies the results of the two-year
planning process and its highlights are as follows:
• Attachment A of this section provides a Summary of Recommendations developed for the Plan and
is grouped under major housing areas.
• The Membership of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force is identified in Attachment B.

Section I
Attachment A
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Overall Implementation Recommendation
Establish, through a joint resolution, an on-going commitment by the Board of Weld County
Commissioners,City Council of Greeley,and the Board of Directors of United Way of Weld County
to implement the Comprehensive Housing Development Plan of Weld County.
. ......................
B. Long-TermIionsittkRecommcnd$tion
Establish an area Housing Development Corporation as described herein and functions to:
1. Collect and make available information concerning existing programs to assist with the
development and purchase of modestly priced homes by persons of low and moderate
income.
_ 2. Facilitate the ability of low income persons to obtain loans for the first-time purchase of
single-family dwellings.
3. Provide an educational program to assist individuals in evaluating their ability to become
home owners.
4. Provide the development community with information and resources concerning the
construction and sale of lower priced homes as well as the development of affordable multi-
family dwelling units.
5. Support efforts to move persons in rental properties to home ownership,particularly where
such efforts would decrease client demand on subsidized housing programs. This effort
would also apply in directing persons in inadequate or limited short term housing to find
more appropriate long term rental dwellings.
6. Facilitate volunteer support to assist long-term housing dwellers with a continuing resource
for aid in management of property and personal needs (e.g. employment, financial
planning).
7. Support efforts to develop community programs which would aid persons making a
transition from home ownership to other long-term housing(e.g. special populations which
-. may benefit from "aging in place" and shared housing programs).
2
940606
C. Transiti Housing Recommendations
1. Create Transitional Housing Programs(s) to bridge the gap between short-term crisis
intervention with emergency shelter
2. Create a series of pilots by partnerships of existing entities which target populations(those
most capable of benefiting)that if successful could easily be replicated.
3. Consider the needs of special populations (physically and mentally handicapped,mobility
impaired,head injured, alcohol/drug involved,pregnant teens,battered women, aged,etc.)
in development of the overall housing plan.
4. Encourage UNC to continue its efforts to develop additional student housing.
5. Create a Housing Development Corporation that would give immediate and equal emphasis
to the development of low income housing.
6. Encourage the City of Greeley and Weld County to review development practices(both fees
and regulations)and assess their impact on development of affordable housing.
D. Emergency Housing Recommendations
1. Create an interagency strategic planning body composed of representatives from funding
servicing agencies. This body would set annual goals,discuss and resolve common issues
and seek out additional funding sources through a community grant writing approach.
2. Establish a standard referral procedure between agencies and create bilingual informative
videos.
3. Agree on seven basic client responsibilities and consider funding priorities for those
agencies who meet these seven basic client responsibilities.
4. Enhance our current central source for client data to track clients through the system that
would be maintained by Weld Information and Referral System.
5. Develop a shelter funding process that would be based on an"agency analysis grid". This
approach would be a consistent program which would analyze agencies on a number of
factors and provide incentives to increase efficient use of current resources;contain costs;
produce favorable outcomes; and seek out additional funding sources.
6. Develop a case management funding process that would be based on an"agency analysis
grid". The case management funding process would be based on eight key components as
described herein.
3
940G96
E. Migrant Housing Recommendations -
1. Vest the ownership and management of migrant housing with the private sector(farmers,
crewleaders), non-profit organizations, or grower/crewleader cooperative rather than
government.
2. Meet and not seek waivers of regulations of the Employment and Training Administration
(ETA)and Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA)which govern housing
standards and monitoring requirements and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Protection Act as amended.
3. Aggressively pursue migrant housing projects,which are funded by tax dollars, and address
certain standards as described herein.
4. Target migrant housing location sites; one in North Weld County and one in South Weld
County. Priority communities for migrant housing site locations were identified and
include: Gilcrest,Milliken,Ault, Evans,Greeley and Fort Lupton.
5. Review and establish an expedited process, through the Board of Weld County
Commissioners,for those individuals,organizations and cooperatives who wish to develop
migrant housing that would meet local health and zoning codes and regulations.
6. Form a migrant housing project committee under the auspices of the Board of Weld County
Commissioners and for a period of one year for the express purposes of:
• working with communities to locate migrant housing
• developing potential owners of migrant housing through private ownership,non-
profit organizations or a farmer/crewleader cooperatives
• developing a financial package with owner(s)for the purpose of efficient use of tax
dollars,grants,and private fmancing
• ensuring quality management of the migrant housing project(s)
7. Encourage the Housing Development Corporation to assist potential owners, through
financing partnerships,in developing new migrant housing and management services.
8. Undertake to complete a pilot project, which was initiated by the Migrant Housing
Committee,through the newly formed migrant housing project committee.

SECTION II: BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
A. Background
The Board of Weld County Commissioners appointed the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task
Force on June 8, 1992, to study homeless and housing services in Weld County and to develop
recommendations for a comprehensive implementation plan.
As part of this effort, the City of Greeley, United Way of Weld County, and the Board of Weld
County Commissioners recognized the need for coordination and entered into a Cooperative
Agreement on November 2, 1992.
The Cooperative Agreement's purposes were to:
1. Focus support among the entities on the mission of the Weld County Homeless/Housing
Task Force. This mission was to assist the Board of Weld County Commissioners, in
cooperation with the City of Greeley,the United Way of Weld County,and other various
organizations and municipalities in developing a comprehensive and strategic plan that will
respond to the present and future housing shelter needs of Weld County's homeless and low
income populations including migrants,elderly, and other special needs groups.
2. Affirm certain basic philosophies which were to:
• recognize the need for safe and decent housing
• develop adequate housing options
• encourage self-sufficiency among individuals and families
• maximize limited resources through an efficient delivery system
• identify housing programs that would best meet the needs of individuals and
families
Under the Cooperative Agreement,representatives from United Way of Weld County and the City
of Greeley were appointed to the Task Force.
B. Initial Planning Efforts and Goal Setting Process
When the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force began its planning effort, it organized itself
into two committees as follows:
1. The Local Delivery System Committee; and
2. The Legislative and Funding Committee
8
940606
The Local Delivery System Committee sought to document the housing delivery system by
developing baseline data as follows:
• an inventory of housing services provided to the homeless, low income,migrant,elderly,
and other special needs populations
• an analysis of funding sources and budget information
• an analysis of the housing delivery system to identify duplication and shortage of housing
services in Weld County
The baseline data developed by the Local Delivery System provided a planning focus for the Weld
County Homeless/Housing Task Force. The Task Force was able to identify , through its other
committees,additional analysis or information needs necessary for a more thorough understanding
of the housing delivery system. The baseline data is provided in Appendix B for reference.
The Legislative and Funding Committee undertook its task by developing goals. Committee
members as well as other community leaders and service providers attended a two day workshop in
September, 1993,to form goals of this Committee.
The goals were based on the mission of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force. The goal
setting process consisted of:
• attaining commitment from the participants
• identifying a goal implementation process with specific action steps and deadlines
• establishing responsibilities of committee members and a monitoring process
In October, the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force determined that the goals of the
Legislative and Funding Committee should become the goals of the entire Task Force.
The goals, as described in Attachment A of this Section, became a definite starting point and
provided a focus for the Task Force on an on-going basis.
Members of the Local Delivery System Committee and the Legislation and Funding Committee are
identified in Attachment B.
•
C. Goal Development Process and Organization of the Task Force
The Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force re-organized its structure on May 13, 1993,and
dissolved the Local Delivery System Committee and the Legislative and Funding Committee. The
Task Force incorporated the work of these two committees into its new structure.
•
The new organizational structure of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force would be a
practical, management approach to meet the challenges presented by its goals as described in
Attachment A of this Section.

committee reviewed, amended, and completed the action steps or goals as appropriate;reviewed,
developed, and identified other information needs; and reviewed and commented on the
comprehensive affordability strategy plan developed by the City of Greeley and Weld County.
D. Completion of the Task Force Goals
As the Task Force goals were completed, each committee summarized the statistical need and
recommendations to be included in the Comprehensive Housing Development Plan. The results of
this process are described through the Committee Reports of Section III of this plan.
The successful implementation of the plan will be the responsibility of the governing bodies that
established or supported the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force. The continued support
of the community and service providers will be critical in producing the desired outcomes.

Dear Reader:
Attached herewith is the Committee Report of the Long-Term Housing Committee.
This report represents the culmination of the goals of the Long-Term Housing
Committee and also represents certain development objectives of the
Transitional Housing Committee.
This report follows considerable research and discussion between the two
housing committees, other northern Colorado housing development corporations
and presents what the Committee considers to be the most prudent and timely
course to pursue to address the goals of the committee and housing needs of
the community with regard to long-term housing.
The efforts of the Long-Term Housing Committee members are commended and
their expertise appreciated.
Sincerely,
nk Rahmig, Chairman

BACKGROUND
During the original goal setting sessions of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force a number of interests were
articulated which related to the objective of providing more housing opportunities for low and moderate income
persons. The main goal embraced by the Long-Term Housing Committee was to Develop a plan to facilitate home
ownership". Three key tasks to accomplish this objective emerged: 1) Identify the sources of funding available for
first time buyers, 2) Identify populations for home ownership, and 3) Develop a strategic plan to combine funding
sources, service providers, and to coordinate public and private participants in an effort to meet the needs for low
income home ownership.
The first task was accomplished in January, 1993,with the production of a packet which identified the sources of
funding available for first-time home buyers. While not articulated specifically in the goal statement,it has been the
operating premise of the Committee that the key target population for which these efforts are intended is persons of
low to moderate income. First time home buyers, not necessarily of modest income, may also benefit from the
committee's endeavors,though more incidentally. It has been presumed that the private real estate and lending services
aptly serve those with income and strong credit histories.
Tasks two and three were explored jointly as the Committee reviewed how to match target populations with services
related to the provision of long-term housing. A discussion paper was tendered in Summer, 1993,which put forth the
concept of a"Housing Services Clearinghouse: which would act as a resource center for providing home ownership
information". Comment on this concept was invited from the Transitional Housing Committee which had,
coincidentally,been exploring ways to foster private construction of multi-family units to meet that committee's goals.
Interest in accomplishing mutual objectives without duplication led to further research on techniques used in other
communities to facilitate development of expanded housing options for persons of modest income. A consistent and
successful model used by many of the communities interviewed was the establishment of a"Housing Development
Corporation".
NEED
Greeley and Weld County are fortunate to have a wide variety of community housing agencies. Where possible,efforts
to meet area housing needs should be directed for resolution through these existing services. In examining the
opportunities available through the establishment of a "Housing Development Corporation" it has been concluded that
the development services which are typical and possible through this type of non-profit organization will serve to
compliment,not supplant or duplicate,the housing services already available locally. In fact, it is the prime objective
of the committee putting forth this proposal to only fill long-term housing development"gaps"not being met presently
by either the public or private sector. It is also intended to seek partnerships in developing new housing and support
25
940616
services by maintaining formal interagency contracts for services to assist in providing a continuum of housing services
to low and moderate income persons. "Long-Tenn" housing includes both single family dwellings and rental units
intended for an indefinite term of occupancy,principally for low income persons.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Long-Term Housing Committee recommends the establishment of an area Housing Development Corporation as
described herein.
A. Concept
As envisioned the Housing Development Corporation would be formed as a 501(C)-3 non-profit agency which
would have as its purpose the following functions:
1. Collect and make available information concerning existing programs to assist with the development
and purchase of modestly priced homes by persons of low and moderate income.
2. Facilitate the ability of low income persons to obtain loans for the first time purchase of single family
dwellings.
3. Provide an educational program to assist individuals in evaluating their ability to become home
owners. Such a program could include,but not be limited to,the following elements:
a. Evaluating or developing an acceptable credit rating.
b. Understanding terms and conditions associated with home purchase.
c. Assessing personal income and expenditures as it relates to home purchase and support(e.g.
utilities,insurance).
d. Understanding ongoing property maintenance and upkeep responsibilities.
f Providing information about other community resources related to such areas as money
management,property repairs and improvement,foreclosure prevention,etc.
This curriculum may also be expanded to provide consumer education on landlord/tenant
responsibilities.
4. Provide the development community with information and resources concerning the construction and
sale of lower priced homes as well as the development of affordable multi-family dwelling units.
26
940696
5. Support efforts to move persons in rental properties to home ownership, particularly where such
efforts would decrease client demand on subsidized housing programs. This effort would also apply
in directing persons in inadequate or limited short-term housing to fmd more appropriate long-term
rental dwellings.
6. Facilitate volunteer support to assist long term housing dwellers with a continuing resource for aid
in management of property and personal needs(e.g. employment,financial planning).
7. Support efforts to develop community programs which aid persons making a transition from home
ownership to other long-term housing (e.g. special populations which may benefit from "aging in
place" and shared housing programs).
B. Structural Intent
The structural framework and initial organizational development is envisioned as follows:
1. Incorporate the Housing Development Corporation as a non-profit organization under State law.
2. Establish the organizational purpose of this corporation to provide,on a non-profit basis,housing for
lower income families and promote improved housing conditions in the City of Greeley and in Weld
County,Colorado.
3. Empower the Corporation to buy,own,sell,convey, assign,mortgage,manage,rent,lease,or operate
any interest in real or personal property and to construct,maintain, manage,rent, lease or operate
improvements thereon necessary or to the accomplishment of the purposes set forth in the
organizational purpose. It is understood that such actions may occur through the formal development
of interagency agreements with other community organizations.
4. Establish a nine-member Board of Directors,the membership of which should include a designated
representative from Weld County, the City of Greeley, United Way of Weld County, and
representatives of the community vested with common housing objectives, such as the Greeley Urban
Renewal Authority, area housing authorities,the financial community,the building industry and the
general public,particularly inclusive of low income family representation.
5. Establish the organization's goal to not be dependent on tax dollars but to attain self-sufficiency.
6. Compliment existing housing services in meeting the residential needs of the low income community.
It is not the intent of the organization to supplant.
7. Provide such housing support throughout Weld County as resources permit. Initial efforts will
commence in the Greeley area as a pilot program,due to current funding opportunities
27
9406%
C. Ouportunity
City of Greeley staff applied for and received funding from Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)
funds. A pilot program was funded to provide a staff position of the Housing Development Corporation and
a Revolving Loan Program for the purpose of assisting low income families with down payment assistance
for home purchase with a portion of these CDBG funds. The limitation of the CDBG funds would require that
initial housing efforts be limited to Greeley; however,the one year pilot project would enable the Housing
Development Corporation Board to get its "corporate feet"on the ground and begin to build a program which
has the potential for expansion to the county with a more extensive funding support base. It is possible that
the down payment revolving loan program could be administered by the Housing Development Corporation
eventually(the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority would administer such program presently). Based upon the
experience of other Colorado Housing Development Corporations' relationships with housing agencies, in
particular area housing authorities, would also be fruitful in expanding the base of support for the Housing
Development Corporation.

BACKGROUND
The Transitional Housing Committee of the Homeless/Housing Task Force has been looking at the needs of
Greeley/Weld County for Transitional Housing. Transitional Housing has been defined by the Task Force as housing
and services for individuals moving from crisis to self-sufficiency; individuals temporarily in the community; and
individuals waiting for permanent or long-term housing solutions. We have identified four major areas of transitional
housing concerns for individuals and families in our community.
• Individuals and families leaving shelters but unable to be totally self-sufficient. This population requires a
less structured housing setting with a graduated support system for a period beyond 30 days,up to two years.
Current programs are extremely limited in meeting the needs of this population.
• Those individuals with special needs including, but not limited to,physical and mental handicaps,mobility
issues,head injuries, alcohol/drug problems,pregnant teens,aging,etc.
• Students
• Low income families unable to find affordable housing.
NEED
Transitional Housing Needs of Populations Served by Emergency Housing
The Emergency Shelters in Weld County can do much in 30-45 days to alleviate the immediate crisis,but that does not
allow sufficient time to affect long-term change. It is imperative that families have a supportive and encouraging
environment when they leave the emergency shelter and move into affordable housing. Often families return to the
same environment and fragmented support system which attributed initially to their homelessness;without intervention
in this environment,all the factors which led to their homelessness are still present and the cycle may very well begin
again. By creating a case management family support system with transitional housing,families will not fall through
the cracks in the system. Weld Information and Referral Service compiles data based on Weld County Shelter Input
Reports submitted monthly from a Woman's Place, Catholic Community Service/Northern, Disabled American
Veterans,the Greeley Transitional House and Weld Information Referral Service. These statistics are based on 1993
reports.
31 940606
The number of unduplicated individuals either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless was 3,525. This number
represents 1,502 households in Weld County. These numbers only reflect those who have sought out services.
There were 779 households which represents 1,173 individuals who were homeless and sought shelter at one of the area
providers.
• families in shelters (=559 individuals) 165
• individuals in shelters 614
• total individuals in area shelters 1,173
• total nights shelter provided by weld agencies 17,958
In fact,a growing number of working people are becoming homeless in Weld County. The factors that have contributed
to the homeless crisis include the following:
• Lack of Affordable Housino: During the past year,the supply of housing has become tighter. Since supply
also affects the costs of rental housing,rents have increased substantially during the same period. As the rental
market becomes tighter, the low-income population is significantly impacted. Without an increase in the
availability of housing, the price for affordable housing remains out of reach for the low-income group and
the need for subsidized housing.
_ • Need for Rental Assistance: Due to the high number of families in Weld County that are faced with the
affordable housing issue, rental assistance continues to be a number one priority need. Without rental
assistance,many families would continue to face homelessness. Weld Information and Referral Service also
provides a significant level of funding towards this effort. However,despite all of these efforts,not all families
are being taken care of
• Changes in Family Structure: There is an increasing number of single-parent households. With diminished
resources and support, a lost job,underemployment,low wages,illness or eviction can catapult a family into
homelessness.
• Domestic Violence: More than 58%of American woman are battered by a husband or partner at some point
in their lives. More than 1/3 of these battered women(58%)of American women are battered repeatedly.
These women become homeless due to the fact that their current home is no longer a safe place to live. These
women are in need of comprehensive counseling and assistance to enable them to reestablish independent,
violence-free households,especially if they have children. This need goes beyond the 30 day crisis period.
• Cutback in Federal Housing and Support Programs: Aid to Families with Dependent Children, food stamps
and disability insurance income have not kept pace with the rising cost of living. Federal housing programs
were cut some 70% in the 1990's. Along with housing, the homeless need services to help them cope,
including the following:
• Day care and education programs for children
• Transportation
32 940606
• Job training and employment assistance
• Alcoholism and substance abuse treatment
-- • Individual, family and other counseling
• Psychological or psychiatric counseling/treatment
• Help in enrolling in benefit programs such as food stamps
• Life skills such as education on nutrition,budget counseling,home maintenance,family planning,etc.
Homeless families lack a support system, or at best have a fragmented system. Families need a functional support
system and are encouraged to develop, attain and maintain their highest level of self-sufficiency through support
services and transitional housing.
The Greeley Transitional House provides emergency services to approximately 60 families per year. Approximately
88% would be eligible and ready for the next step; transitional housing with supportive services. This percentage
represents 53 families per year.
A Woman's Place provides treatment and support services to approximately 91 families per year,25%of these families
would be eligible for transitional housing with supportive services. Approximately 73 families served by its outreach
programs would also be eligible. This represents 96 families who are in need of these types of services.
University of Northern Colorado- Projected Student Housing,Needs
The University's proposed Strategic Plan projects the following student enrollment.:
• New freshmen enrollment to remain constant with little or no increase.
• Undergraduate/upper division(junior and senior students)enrollment will increase from current level to 8,270
students to 9,250 students in 1998 and to 10,000 students in 2004.
• Graduate enrollment will increase from the current level of 1,435 students to 1,600 students in 1998 and 2,000
students in 2004.
• Out-of-state students will increase from current level of 1,068 students to 1,456 students in 1998 and 2,038
students in 2004.
According to the Auxiliary Services Master Plan,the University and/or Greeley metro area community needs to develop
the following.
• 550 new beds in apartment units to house 336 single students and 184 married students to meet the current
student housing deficiency. Such development would require approximately 275 apartment units.
• The projected ten year need would be an additional 550 beds to house 336 single students and 184 married
students,which would require an additional 275 apartment units.
33 940606
Housing Need for Low Income and Special Populations for Affordable Rental I Jnits
Our community is facing a major rental housing problem. Four major factors have created this problem.
• Scarcity of Units
• May'93 study showed multi-family housing vacancy of 1.4%
• in less than a two year period two-bedroom unit rents increased 13.4%
• increased number of units requiring a 12 month lease and a higher damage deposit
• student population competing with families for housing
• 1990: 47.1%of units (10,449 are renter-occupied)
• overcrowding and lack of units for large families is a problem
• often people with disabilities require both accessible and low income housing
• Lack of New Construction
•
• 1986 Tax Reform Act decreased profitability of building new multi-family dwellings
• there is less availability of loans for new multi-family dwellings
• rents,while rising,are still too low for profitability of new construction
♦ with proper planning, the cost of ADA accessibility adds only 1/2 of 1% to the cost of new
construction
• High Number of Households Unable to Afford Housing
• 23%of Greeley Households are very low income(50%of median income)
♦ 18%of Greeley Households are low income(80%of median income)
• Hispanic population is growing faster and has a high proportion of low income households
• Low income and racial/ethnic concentrations tend to be concentrated in North and East Greeley
(Census tracts 1,2&6 -low income; 5,6& 7.01 -Hispanic)
• 77.122% of the renter-occupied units of households with incomes of$10,000 or less cost 30%or
more of their monthly income.
• Many people with special needs live on fixed and limited incomes and can not find decent affordable
housing without assistance(i.e. Section 8 certificates)
• Insufficient Housing Meeting American Disabilities Act(ADA)Requirements
• Currently approximately 100 developmentally disabled individuals receive housing services,385 are
on a waiting list for services
• A 1993 survey of senior housing complexes in Weld County found waiting list of 4,069 people(while
this may be a duplicated count,it is a good indicator of need)
• Weld County has approximately 700 mobility impaired individuals
34 9406/6
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. We recommend that Transitional Housing Programs(s)be created to bridge the gap between short-term crisis
intervention with emergency shelter and true self-sufficiency with permanent housing.
• Elements/Criteria for creation of such programs should include the following
• Provide housing and support services to residents leaving crisis or homeless shelters for six months
to two years
• Build on existing programs through collaborative agreements
• Give strong emphasis to building self-sufficiency (i.e. screening participants for motivation and
having signed contracts establishing goals and expectations)
• Provide an adequate level of supportive services to allow for true self-sufficiency
2. We recommend that a series of pilots be created by partnerships of existing entities which target populations
(those most capable of benefiting) that if successful could easily be replicated. Since the Weld County
Housing Authority and the Greeley Housing Authority are currently involved in or investigating self-
sufficiency programs,these programs should become the lead entities of these pilots. Eventually the Housing
Development Corporation could provide the housing component with coordination of support services being
done by the Housing Authorities.
3. We recommend the needs of special populations (physically and mentally handicapped, mobility impaired,
head injured,alcohol drug involved,pregnant teens,battered women, aged,etc.)be considered in development
of the overall housing plan. The Development Corporation(see#5 below)and our community(government,
non-profits and private sector)must work to make housing accessibility to special populations. The American
Disabilities Act(ADA)mandates the needs of special populations to be met in housing and support services.
Special populations'need for support services,especially transportation need to be addressed. In addressing
special populations'needs,our community needs to look to cooperative ventures relying on the expertise of
the existing programs and agencies working with these populations.
4. We recommend UNC continue its efforts to develop additional student housing. The growth of the student
population,without a corresponding growth in campus housing,continues to impact rental housing for low
income individuals and families. Students displace families in rental units because a group of students can pay
a higher rent than a single family.
5. We recommend a Housing Development Corporation be created. The Transitional Housing Committee
recommends the proposal of the Long-Term Housing Committee give immediate and equal emphasis to
development of low income rental housing in creating the Development Corporation. This emphasis on new
construction of low income rental housing is necessary for the following reasons:
• While the current increase in rental construction does add to the total available housing stock, it is
primarily affordable to moderate income individuals.
35 940636
• Increasing availability of home ownership also has a positive effect by potentially freeing up rental
units. According to a housing study prepared in January 1993,by Ann Garrison 1,254 renters in the
$20,000 to$34,999 household income range were paying less than 20%,as were 699 in the$35,000
to$49,999 range. Many of these renters probably could move into ownership if homes in the$40,000
to$55,999 range were available. However,there were 2,594 households making less than$10,000
and 888 in the$10,000 to$19,999 range paying more than$35%of their income for rent(above 30%
is considered burdensome).
• The private sector cannot afford to develop low income units. Changes in the tax code, cost of
construction and current rent structures have made it impossible for new construction, affordable to
low income individuals and families,to take place without involvement of the public and non-profit
sector. Average monthly rent on a two bedroom apartment would have to be 140 to 160%of the
current amount for profitable building of many new multi-family dwellings to take place and the
average renter could not pay that increase.
• The data available would indicate the Housing Development Corporation would be a positive vehicle
to assist in the development of new low income rental units. Such corporations have been very
successful developers of low income rental units in other communities of Colorado. A development
corporation would provide the following advantages.
♦ Serve as the entity to facilitate public/private partnerships,using the complicated financing
structures (tax credits,bonds,grants,donations,etc.)needed in today's market
• Centralize leadership and expertise. While several projects have and will continue to be
developed,a development corporation allows for ongoing sustainable development
• Establish a centralized ongoing relationship to housing entities (HUD, State Division of
Housing,CHAFA,etc.) as well as local lenders and developers
• Concentrate efforts on development,it allows for community agencies and organizations to
work with and through the corporation to provide support services and rental and ownership
opportunities
• Assist cities and towns in meeting needs of low income individuals and families
Because of the immediate and overwhelming need for new development of rental housing, if the proposed
housing development corporation cannot meet this need,we recommend the creation of a separate corporation
to focus on rental housing development.
• We recommend the City of Greeley and Weld County review development practices(both fees and regulations)
to assess their impact on development of affordable housing. The Housing Development Corporation could
provide a vehicle to allow special waivers,etc. that could assist in low income development.

Dear Reader:
The Emergency Housing Committee Report presents a number of recommendations that will encourage an effective
delivery system for emergency housing and services in Weld County. The recommendations incorporate:
• collaboration between system members
• maximization of current community resources
• efficiency and accountability within the system
• a continuum of care approach
The continuum of care approach is our effort to design a system that moves emergency populations to a sustained and
improved status.
This proposal is a result of a great deal of research,discussion,commitment to cooperation, and consensus building.
In order to arrive at a group consensus we had to rebuild trust and an open communication link between and among
service and funding agencies. Our commitment to eliminate homelessness in our county allowed us to work through
_ our differences and find the common threads that link us all. As we worked towards our goal we discovered our
common issues far outweighed our differences.
I wish to commend the Emergency Housing Committee Members for their investment in the process.
Also, the ad hoc committee which developed the 1993 and 1994 shelter funding formulas assisted our committee's
planning efforts. These funding formulas were incorporated into our planning. Ms. Becky Safarik's facilitation of that
process was laudable and greatly enhanced our comprehensive view of emergency housing and services. Ms. Safarik
is the Director of the City of Greeley Community Development Department.

WELD COUNTY HOMEL SS/{HOUTSING TASK FORCE
EMERGENCY HOUS TG COMMITTEE
E
EMERGENCY ROi 1G R 'ORT
BACKGROUND
During the original goal setting sessions of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force,it was decided that the
Emergency Housing Committee should examine the current emergency housing and services delivery system. The goal
assigned to the Emergency Housing Committee was to develop an effective delivery system for emergency housing and
services.
Specifically,the Er -gency Housing Committee focused on:
• identifying the county's population in need of emergency housing and services and those whose needs were
going unmet,
• identifying the funding sources available for the emergency housing and services,
• defining measurable outcomes of services,and
• developing recommendations which would encourage cooperation,accountability,and efficiencies within the
system.
On a concurrent basis, an ad hoc committee was formed in December 1992, and composed of shelter and housing
representatives and of Weld County, City of Greeley, and United Way representatives. This ad hoc committee was
formed for the specific purpose of establishing a more universal system of shelter fund disbursement to area agencies
providing housing assistance to the homeless and at-risk populations.
The work on this project was commenced after the Weld County Commissioner's request of the Weld County
Homeless/Housing Task Force to prepare funding program recommendations for the use of 1993 County shelter funds.
The ad hoc committee continued its efforts for the 1994 shelter funding process and its recommendations were adopted
by the Emergency Housing Committee. The ad hoc committee dissolved as the Emergency Housing Committee merged
the planning efforts of the ad hoc committee with its own.
The recommendations of the ad hoc committee are described in Exhibit I of this section.
39
940606
NEEDS
The Committee's research confirmed that the present systme was meeting the emergency housing and services needs
of a large percent of those individuals or families who need emergency services; however,a significant number of these
individuals or families had emergency shelter needs that were not being met. Those unmet needs are due to lack of
emergency shelter space, affordable long-term housing,and funding.
The Emergency Housing Committee determined that agencies find themselves competing for the same funding
resources. This competion consumes agency resources and places artificial barriers among them. A more cooperative
and communal approach to grant writing in addition to additional funding sources could help in this area.
In an effort to define measurable outcomes, the Emergency Housing Committee analyzed each agency in terms of
reason for admission,client responsibility,client data collection and coordination. It was felt the results of an agency's
clearly defined mission,can be efficiently compiled and reported so that the effectiveness of the agency is apparent.
As a result of this study it was determined that the need for a set of common client responsibilities,a clear definition
of case management and a consistent set of client information were needed to assist in measuring outcomes.
In examining our current cooperative efforts, the Committee found a number of these activities underway. Referrals
among agencies are made to ensure clients are appropriately placed. Initial case management is often completed by
one agency before referring a client to another agency. Statistical data is shared between service and funding agencies.
Overall it was felt that the current cooperation is good but could be improved.
As a result of the Committee's preliminary action steps and background research, the Committee concluded the
following:
• There is a small percentage of our emergency population whose needs are going unmet
• Additional funding sources and affordable emergency and transitional housing is needed
• Our current basic delivery system is good but there is room for improvement and modification in terms of
client tracking,funding allocations and additional cooperative efforts.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The structure of the proposed emergency housing and services delivery system is based on cooperation among service
and funding agencies, common client expectations, a consistent centralized informational data base for clients and
services, and shelter and case management funding programs that reward efficient use of community resources and
positive outcomes. It is also designed to provide a continuum of care that will help emergency populations move
towards a sustained and improved status.
As a symbol of the Committee's dedication and commitment to creating a cooperative delivery system and staying
focused on the issue of homelessness in Weld County,the Committee proposed entering into an interagency cooperative
agreement. The agreement states; "We are committed to addressing and solving homelessness in Weld County
through clear and honest communication,collaboration,commitment to maximizing current community
40
940616
resources,common goal setting bud quantifying our cooperation". This state..,ent will serve as a reminder of our
common goal and will reinforce a community approach to emergency care.
We propose the creation of an interagency strategic planning body composed of representatives from funding
and servicing agencies. This body will set annual goals, discuss and resolve common issues and seek out
additional funding sources through a community grant writing approach. The functions of the Interagency
Strategic Planning Committee is as follows:
a. Complete the remaining five components which are described in Recommendation Item 2 through 6.
b. Initiate annual goal setting meeting by July 1, 1994,and include Board Representatives from each of
the Shelter agencies.
c. Complete an Interagency Cooperative Agreement by July 31, 1994,which embodies the Committee's
commitment in addressing and solving homeless in Weld County. The composition of the Interagency
Strategic Planning Committee should include representation of:
• United Way
• Weld County
• City of Greeley
• Shelters and Rehabilitation Service agencies
• Alcohol and Drug Treatment agencies
• Private Sector
2. In an effort to reach more people in need of emergency services,the Committee proposed a standard referral
procedure be established between agencies and bilingual informative videos be created. The videos should
be made available throughout the community. This effort will be in addition to the current directory of
available emergency services and agency screening criteria.
3. In order to maximize our emergency resources,the Committee have agreed on basic client responsibilities.
These basic client responsibilities are as follows:
a. Abide by rules of program and facility
b. Meet with counselor/case manager
c. Follow through on referrals
d. Pursue employment
e. Look for housing
f Provide documentation/information and ensure updated information/change in status
g. Be drug free-no alcohol abuse
Clients within the system will be required to abide by the seven basic client responsibilities. Each agency will
be responsible for ensuring the clients abide by these responsibilities. The Committee propose that agencies
which meet these seven basic responsibilities receive priority funding consideration. Also a statement of
assurances will be developed and submitted to funding agencies by each emergency shelter agency by July 1,
1994, and by the beginning of each funding cycle thereafter.
41
940606
4. To track clients through the system,the Committee agreed to enhance the current central source for client data.
It will continue to be compiled and maintained by Weld Information and Referral System (WIRS). Each
agency will maintain their own data and will supply specific data to WIRS for reporting and tracking purposes.
Key issues in the enhancement of the centralized data base will be common data and format as well as a client
identification system for confidentiality purposes.
The proposed steps to complete the project are as follows:

III. Central agency produces quarterly report Nov. 1, 1994
_. IV. Central agency produces annual report Aug. 1, 1994
5. The Committee proposed a shelter funding process be developed that will be based on an "agency analysis
grid." This approach will be a consistent program which will analyze agencies on a number of factors and
provide incentives to increase efficient use of current resources,contain costs,produce favorable outcomes
and seek out additional funding sources. This concept has only been discussed in theory and will need to be
refined further.
6. The Committee proposed a case management funding program be developed based on the"agency analysis
grid"model. The Committee's ability to provide a case management plan to each and every client entering the
system is critical of the continuum of care approach. Case management must be designed to move clients to
an improved state and towards self-sufficiency. The Committee concluded that the key components of a case
management funding program are the relationship to the mission of the shelter,the actual cost of services,
some minimum case management criteria, a tracking system, the level of service provided, the number of
clients served,the adequate assessment of client needs,and measurable outcomes.

EMERGENCY SRELThR CO IiTT E
RECOMMENDATIONS OF A €AR ROC COI MITTIaE
CONCERNING'r SRF .TER FLING
BACKGROUND
In late 1992 the Weld County Commissioners set aside$50,000 in fiscal year 1993 funds to assist housing agencies
_ which serve homeless and at-risk persons. A condition for receipt of the finds was that an equitable system for
distribution among such area housing providers be presented and accepted by the Commissioners prior to April 15,
1992. The task was directed to the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force for oversight and recommendation.
This report represents the work and consensus recommendation of the area shelter providers. While three distinct
options are presented,the shelter group endorsed one option as a viable mechanism for 1993 fund distribution.
The Weld County Commissioners' directive was to address six areas in which they could evaluate a voucher or
comparable system to fund shelter services in 1993. The Ad Hoc Committee addressed those areas as follows:
A. Prioritizing Clients to be Served
Each of the three shelters prioritize client admission based upon agency standards relating to financial distress,
client safety, and ability to address client support needs. The agencies target and serve different client
populations but provide a complementary continuum of housing services for the homeless/at-risk population.
The proposed agency funding levels reflect the relative priority of client groups based on the 1992 shelter
populations served.
B. Determining Costs of Major Services and Prioritizing Such Serviceg
The recommended alternative prioritizes shelter services over other support functions and the cost analysis
of shelter was described in detail.
C. Reviewing a Voucher or Comparable System and Recommending a System of Fund Distribution
Three options were developed and analyzed,with one recommended option for fund distribution. All options
were discussed and evaluated.
D. Identifying Services to be Provided for South Weld County Clients
All area shelters serve individuals from all of Weld County,including the South County area. Should a viable
shelter be established in another portion of the County which can meet additional housing needs, it could be
43 9406"26
considered for funding ..l accordance with the formula contained unuer the recommended option in a
subsequent funding years.
E. Identifying Other Funding Alternatives for Those Services_that Cannot be Paid Under the County's Resource
Allocation
The County's allocation of$50,000 will assist with approximately 20 percent of the three identified client
shelter costs for 1993. Each individual agency solicits and manages budget resources through United Way,
State funds,community contributions,and related assistance. At this point each agency will continue to access
such resources to support program functions. No additional research was conducted to address agency budget
shortfalls.
F. Identifying Treatment and Counseling Costs and Recommend a System of Fund Distribution with Weld
County Mental Health
The report suggests that this level of analysis requires participation from more than the presently assembled
shelter and housing providers and should be pursued as a separate matter.
In 1994,the Ad Hoc Committee reviewed the 1993 Shelter Funding Formula and refined the formula.
• The 1993 shelter funding formula was allocated on a percentage ration of the total actual cost of
providing housing services. Since the rate of reimbursement is an agency average, it was felt that the
_ agency"ceiling" amount should be designated as a percentage of the total housing cost to'calibrate'
the different costs experienced to provide housing(not support services)by agency. Therefore, as a
percentage of the total housing expenditures,the county funding ceiling was set for each agency.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The 1993 shelter funding formula provides housing assistance exclusive of support service costs (e.g.,
counseling)at a universal rate identified by the participating shelters.
The agencies accept clients based upon individual agency eligibility criteria and space available but submit
reimbursement claims to the County for only those clients who are income-qualified.
Each agency may submit reimbursement claims up to a pre-identified agency "ceiling" which is based on a
proportionate share of 1992 agency shelter budgets. Maximum days of reimbursement by agency is also
limited by 1992 client stay averages.
UNIVERSAL CLIENT REIMBURSEMENT RATE
$15.17/Client/Night
44 940616
MAXIMUM CLIENT SLAYS BY AGENCY
Guadalupe Center - 7 Days
A Woman's Place - 17 Days
Transitional House -24 Days
TOTAL CLIENT CLAIM REIMBURSEMENT BY AGENCY
A Woman's Place $18,250
Greeley Transitional House 16,000
Guadalupe Center 15.750
Total $50,000
2. It was agreed that throughout 1993,additional evaluation should be undertaken to establish an acceptable and
comprehensive case management program and to expand funding resources to supplement the WIRS (Weld
Information and Referral System) rent voucher program in order to help move clients through the shelter
system to independent living. Defining the mechanics of such a system was not practical within the time
constraints of the Commissioners'directive and the immediate need of the shelter agencies to reach closure on
1993 budgets.
3. Another area recommended for additional evaluation was the consideration of a similar funding mechanism
for counseling the client support services. The recommended option contained in this report isolates shelter
costs from other client support services. While this accomplishes better accountability of"pure" shelter costs,
it ignores critical agency program components essential to the purpose of fostering better client self-reliance
and reduction in homelessness recidivism rates. In that such an undertaking would logically involve a broader
and different set of agency representations,this too was beyond the scope of the shelter funding task.
4. The 1994 shelter funding formula was refined as follows:
UNIVERSAL CLIENT REIMBURSEMENT RATE
$16.12/Client/Night
Maximum client stays by agency
Guadalupe Center - 10 days
A Woman's Place -24 Days
Greeley Transitional House - 30 Days
Total client claim reimbursement by agency
A Woman's Place $18,500(37%)
Greeley Transitional House 18,000 (36%)
Guadalupe Center 13.500(27%)

Dear Reader:
Migrant housing needs remain a unique and complex issue. The Migrant Housing Committee sought to develop
recommendations that would result in quality housing.
The Committee consulted with representatives from the State and Federal Governments and I wish to express our
thanks to them for their assistance. These representatives were:
• Dick Hemandez,Department of Labor
• Dave Hersedt, OSHA
Finally- the insights of our committee members, especially our farmers and crewleaders. were invaluable

BACKGROUND
The Migrant Housing Committee of the Weld County Homeless/Housing Task Force has identified the housing needs
of migrant workers, farmers, and crewleaders and developed a number of recommendations to meet these housing
needs. The Migrant Housing Committee evolved out of the Transitional Housing Committee. These two committees
share common issues and concerns as these issues relate to housing needs of individuals who temporarily work and
attend school in Weld County.
Migrant housing has been defined as housing and services for individuals and families who temporarily work in
agriculture by planting, tending, and harvesting crops and are required to be absent overnight from their permanent
place of residence.
The Migrant Housing Committee determined that migrant housing needs are unique and must be developed
accordingly. The housing needs of the seasonal agricultural worker who is not required by his/her work to be absent
overnight from his/her permanent place of residence would be addressed by other committees of the Homeless/Housing
Task Force. These committees would address low income housing,emergency shelter, and transitional housing needs
of the seasonal agricultural worker.
NEED
In October, 1993,the Migrant Housing Committee recommended that a market study be funded by the Board of Weld
County Commissioners as part of pre-development costs for a low income housing project for seasonal farmworkers
and which would be under the auspices of Catholic Community Services Northern.
This study would be used for two purposes:
• The first purpose would be to provide Catholic Community Services Northern an opportunity to fiilfill
federal/State funding and planning requirements for their low-income project(a non-migrant housing project);
and
• The second purpose would be to establish a planning baseline for the Migrant Housing Committee in its efforts
to identify migrant housing needs.
The Board of Weld County Commissioners approved$38,830.00 in pre-development costs which provided funds for
48 940606
this market study conducted by Ms. Patricia A. Lease of Lease Associates, 1427 Ivahoe Street, Denver,Colorado. This
study would be used by both Catholic Community Services Northern and the Migrant Housing Committee. The
Executive Summary of the market study identified its major findings as follows:
• Weld County leads the State in harvesting 20 crops, including corn,dry beans,sugar beets,hay,onions,sweet
corn,carrots and cabbage. In 1992,the value of the vegetable crops of onions, swer? corn, spinach,lettuce,
pickles,carrots and cabbage and the sugar beet and potato crops was over$65 million.
• From 1982 to 1992, the total acreage of vegetables increased from 7,286 acres to 15,663 acres, a 114%
increase compared to the 72%increase in the State as a whole. The acreage of sugar beets increased from
17,269 to 21,020, a 22%increase compared with a statewide decrease of 12%.
• The largest demand for seasonal farmworkers is during the harvest of the vegetables from July through
October. About 60%of the seasonal,temporary farmworkers live permanently in the area and about 40%are
migrant farmworkers.
• Of the 6,400 seasonal farmworkers, 60% (3,850) are local residents and 2,550 are migrant farmworkers.
There are 1,570 local seasonal families, 840 migrant families and 1,000 single migrant farmworkers.
• Based on a sample survey,many of these farmworkers and their families live in overcrowded or unaffordable
housing;50%of those living in labor camps and 21%of the total migrant and local seasonal families live in
overcrowded conditions and 75%of the local seasonal and 95%of the migrant families live in unaffordable
housing.
• The long waiting lists for rental assisted units,400 at the Greeley Housing Authority;the low vacancy rate in
both private market and subsidized units;and the high rents in the private sector have generated a demand for
more affordable rental units.
• Migrant families earn an average $9,500 a year, local seasonal farmworker families earn$15,200,migrant
singles earn$3,500 and local seasonal singles earn$7,400.
• 58% of the local seasonal farmworker families and 93% of the migrant farmworker families had incomes
below$15,000 a year;93%of the single migrants and 64%of the local seasonal singles earn less than$5,000
a year.
• Based on the income profile,current housing availability and housing conditions,there is a projected need for
900 affordable rental units for local seasonal families, 780 affordable rental units for migrant families and
beds for 400 singles.
The Migrant Housing Committee considered the need of farmworker labor based on crop demands. This analysis is
presented as follows:

Based on its analysis,the Migrant Housing Committee determined certain factors affecting migrant housing issues as follows:
• Lack of Affordable Migrant Housing
Major rental housing problems in our community have impacted affordable migrant housing. An analysis conducted by the
Transitional Housing Committee identified four major factors creating these problems as follows
• Scarcity of Units
• Lack of New Construction
• High Number of Households Unable to Afford Housing
• Insufficient Housing Meeting American Disabilities Act(ADA)Requirements
The Transitional Housing Committee Report provides for more narrative and statistical details concerning these major rental
housing problems.
Also,stringent housing standards and monitoring requirements applied to migrant housing and which is in addition to local
(city/county)safety,health,and building codes have contributed to the lack of affordable migrant housing.
• Impact of OSHA and Related Housing Standards and Monitoring Requirements
Farmers and crewleaders have eliminated or drastically reduced their stock of migrant housing because of federal mandates
concerning housing standards and monitoring requirements by the community. Civil money penalty assessments,as a result
of violations to the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act(MSPA), has deterred the development of
housing projects by fanners and crewleaders.
• Lack of a Positive Perception(sl of Migrant Workers
The potential of migrant housing near communities is greatly impacted by the positive or negative perception of migrant
workers on the community. Although many migrant workers and their families have not overly used social programs and
have developed stable working histories with farmers or crewleaders, some communities have objected to migrant housing
development. p //��C C

The Migrant Housing Subcommittee explored five housing options for migrant housing.
OPTION 1
PLANNING ZONING OSHA
HOUSING APPROACH APPLICABILITY APPLICABILITY FUNDING MANAGEMENT
Farmer/Crew-leader Manufactured or modular OSHA would apply if housing Private loans/resources Privately managed
Owned. housing would require is used exclusively for farm
Modular manufactured zoning permits. Other workers
fractured/stick-built housing types,a building permit
located on private land.
Conclusions: The Migrant Housing Committee found this option to be viable. The option enhances the direct relationship
and responsibility of housing with the farmers and crewleaders who have the most to gain from migrant
housing. The downside of this approach continues to be the high risk exposure of the farmer/crewleader
in obtaining monetary penalties imposed by OSHA and under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural
Worker Protection Act(MSPA). The management approach of housing units would be at the discretion
of the private owner and he/she would be responsible for adhering to local (city/county) safety,health and
building codes.
OPTION 2
PLANNING ZONING OSHA
HOUSING APPROACH APPLICABILITY APPLICABILITY FUNDING MANAGEMENT
Non-profit ownership. Manufactured or modular OSHA would apply if housing State housing grants. Management by the
Modular/manufactured or housing would require is used exclusively for farm CDBG funds,Farmers non-profit.

on property owned by the types,a building permit program
nonprofit organization
Conclusions: The Migrant Housing Committee found this option to be viable. The option addresses resource flexibility
by combining state/local grants with private financing. There would be more assurance that quality
management of the project would exist. The project would provide for community"buy-in".
OPTION 3
PLANNING ZONING OSHA
HOUSING APPROACH APPLICABILITY APPLICABILITY FUNDING MANAGEMENT

Conclusions: Although this option has possibilities, its potential is limited to the supply/non-supply of rental housing
unitsthat exists in the community. The strength of this option is that ownership and management of housing

HOUSING APPROACH
Grower Co-op as a Manufactured or modular OSHA would apply if State housing grants. Managed by co-op
profit organization housing would require housing is used CDBG funds, staff or contracted
zoning permits. Other exclusively for farm Farmers Home
types,a building permit workers 514/516
Conclusions: The Migrant Housing Committee views this option as having a great deal of merit. It merges the positive
factors of Options 1 and 2.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The Committee recommend that the ownership and management of migrant housing be vested in the
private sector(farmers,crewleaders),non-profit organizations,or grower/crewleader cooperative rather
than government.
2. The Committee recommend that regulations of the Employment and Training Administration(ETA)and
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) which governs housing standards and
monitoring requirements be met and waivers not sought of the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural
Worker Protection Act as amended.
3. We recommend migrant housing projects,which are funded by tax dollars,be aggressively pursued and
address certain standards as follows:
• be constructed or purchased for the express purpose of migrant housing and not for
otherhousing purposes unless the demand for migrant housing no longer exists or the project
can guarantee housing for migrants when needed
• ensure quality management of migrant housing that will:
a. meet federal and State housing standards and monitoring requirements
b. meet local (City and County) regulations and codes affecting safety, health, water,
access, and building codes
52 940606
c. meet .a housing needs of migrant families and indis._4als which includes low density
housing,quality safety and health standards
d. meet the preference criteria for the use of the migrant housing by fanners/crewleaders
on behalf of their migrant labor. This preference criteria is as follows:
• selecting farmers and crewleaders who are involved with specific crops--
onions, spinach,peppers, sugar beets, and pickles
• determining how long the farmer has been in operation--those in operation the
longest will be given priority
• providing preference to those farmers who donate land for modular housing
set-up(site location)
• providing preference to farmers/crewleaders who are in the current season for
each crop (some migrants come in for planting beets. etc. then move on to
another area and return for onion harvest)
e. develop a committee comprised of individuals from agencies serving farmworkers, and
representative(s)of farmers,to assist the housing manager with screening crewleaders
and farmers for vacancies as they occur.
• attain financial self-sufficiency for the project by not being dependent on tax dollars
• ensure that the project takes advantage of such resources as housing subsidies for migrants,the
use of volunteers
4. We recommend that migrant housing location sites be targeted for a site in North Weld County and one
in South Weld County. Priority communities for migrant housing site locations were identified and
should be considered. These sites include: Gilcrest, Milliken,Ault, Evans,Greeley and Fort Lupton.
The major location site preference factors should include:
• zoning-those areas already zoned or which would permit for multi-family residential housing
units with medium/ltigh designation should be a preference for site locations
• utilities-utility services should be on-site or at least readily accessible
• accessibility to servicej-locations sites that are near grocery stores,medical services, schools,
or transportation should be considered
• environmental concerns - for potential funding considerations from Farmers Home
Administration,issues of noise and flood plain requirements need to be considered
a. if migrant housing is located within 3,000 feet of a railroad or within 1,000 feet of a
major highway,the noise factor must be mitigated
b. flood plain requirements provide that migrant housing cannot be located in a 100 year
flood plain
53 940636
• size of the . or - location sites should consider the size of the housing project and the
appropriate size of a single parcel of land to accommodate the project
5. The Committee recommends that the Board of Weld County Commissioners review and establish an
expedited process for those individuals, organizations and cooperatives who wish to develop migrant
housing in order for the housing project to meet local health and zoning codes and regulations.
6. The Committee recommends that a migrant housing project committee under the auspices of the Board
of Weld County Commissioners and for a period of one year be formed for the express purposes of:
• working with communities to locate migrant housing
• developing potential owners of migrant housing through private ownership, non-profit
organization or a farmer/crewleader cooperative
• developing a financial package with owner(s) for the purpose of efficient use of tax dollars,
grants,and private financing
•
• ensuring quality management of the migrant housing project(s)
The composition of the migrant housing project committee should include representatives of:
- Crewleader(s)
- Farmers(s)
- Migrant Advocacy Organization
- Financing
-County Commissioner
- Building/Zoning
- Developer
7. The Committee recommends that the Housing Development Corporation assist potential owners through
financing partnerships in developing new migrant housing and management services.
•
54 940636
The Committee recommends that the newly formed migrant housing project committee undertake to
complete a pilot project,which was initiated by the Migrant Housing Committee
This pilot project would entail:
a. identifying an owner of the project
b. meeting the standards and requirements by the Migrant Housing Committee for quality housing
for migrants
c. recommending funding -'ptions for the project
d. identifying location sit..,$) for the project
e. working with the communities to locate the housing project
A description of the pilot project is attached as Attachment A

PILOT PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Northern Alberta, Canada
Modular Unit Complexes
ITEM DESCRIPTION
Modular -.its One to ten modular unit complexes are owned by ATCO International and located in Northern Alberta.Canada. The modulars are 42
man units plus a shower/wash room and consists of six buildings accommodating eight men per building. The costs per 42 man
complex delivered to a Weld County location(s)is$80,000 or less than$2,000 per unit.
The units were built in the early 1980's and used for a couple of years as employee housing.
Type of Migrant The units best fit solo males:however,the suitability of family use would need to be assessed.
Housing
Location Site One county-owned site in Galeton has been explored.This site location is subject to availability and community acceptability. Other
sites would need to be explored.
Site Development Basic site development costs would include:
Costs
• Site preparation.foundation flat work;
• Utility services to the site
a. water
b. sewer
c. electricity
The site development costs for the Galeton site(not representative of all location sites)consists of:
• The units may or may not require a foundation according to the Weld County Building Inspections Department. The
foundation could be a pressure treated wood foundation or a concrete foundation. The costs of the concrete foundation
should not exceed$10,500 for the forty-two unit complex with the cost of the pressure treated foundation being less.
• The sewer tap would be approximately$4,500 with an additional$1,500 for the costs of conning the sewer line to the units.
• Two water taps would be required for the project. According to Weld County Building Inspections Department,the units
would require that a sprinkler system be installed in the units requiring a separate water tap.A domestic 5/8"water tap is
currently at the site through North Weld Water District. The tap would need to be up-graded to a 3/4"tap.Total cost of the
tap up-grade and running water service to the units will be approximately$3,000. An additional tap for the sprinkler system
would cost an estimated$10,000.
• The electric service to the property needs to be upgraded at an estimated cost of$5,000.
The above costs were determined with consultation through North Weld Water District,the Galeton Water and Sanitation District and
Weld County Building Inspections Department.
Unresolved Issues • The quality of the modular units needs to be ascertained through an inspection of the units in Canada.
• The costs of rehabilitation of the units,if needed,cannot be projected without inspection of the units.
• The arrangements of the eating facilities need to be resolved. The modular units could include a diner unit. The diner units
provide a preparation area,refrigeration,cooking facilities,dining area and clean up facilities. Options are that the residents
could prepare their own meals in the facilities provided or the meals could be provided. If meals are served by the project,
this option would trigger Health regulations, which require licensing in the preparation of the food. The decision as to
-- whether meals are served or not served should be assessed by the owner and/or manager of the project
• Costs of the project depend on:
a. site development costs per location site
b. arrangements for the eating facility
c. rehabilitation costs

APPENDIX C
WELD COUNTY HOMELESS/HOUSING TASK FORCE
HOMEOWNERSHIP AND EDUCATION COMPONENT
LONG-TERM HOUSING COMMITTEE
Appendix C, the Homeownership and Education Component was developed through the Long-Term
Housing Committee in response to prepare first-time low-to-moderate income homebuyers for
howownership. Many potential first-time homebuyers would likely qualify for a mortgage if a specific
homeownership counselling service was available. Moreover,lenders would be more willing to make a loan
to a low-income mortgage applicant if they were participating in a homeownership curriculum.
The material included in the Homeownership and Education Component provides an excellent model as a
curriculum which could be adapted for presentation to the low-to-moderate income homebuyer.
The Homeownership and Education Component is not included in this Comprehensive Housing
Development Plan,but is available upon request by contacting either Weld County,United Way or the City
of Greeley.
