Sara Walsh, Yesenia Silva Estrada, and Zachary Haberler developed an equity-focused housing blueprint for Colorado’s rural resort communities that included a focus on affordable housing. 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.
