Sara Walsh, Yesenia Silva Estrada, and Zachary Haberler developed a housing blueprint for Colorado’s rural resort communities that includes an exploration of affordable housing and equity concerns. The team conducted both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the effects of current housing policy in rural resort areas, with a specific focus of the availability of affordable housing in the Gateway and Natural Amenity Regions (GNAR), a community type that has grown with a wider adoption of remote work.
