Community Summits & Wrap Up Overview

 The Community Summits and Wrap Up completed on the evening of May 3rd. Home2Health and City staff who supported the completion of the Housing Strategic Plan were joined by Summit participants, community members as well as Darin Atteberry, City Manager and our new Mayor, Jeni Arndt who both shared sentiments of gratitude for the deep-dive the City has taken on addressing housing concerns in our community. City Council will be meeting this summer to discuss next steps of the Housing Strategic Plan implementation. In the meantime, small working groups are starting to form across the City to start addressing specific strategies from the plan.  

Home2Health wants to give a huge thanks to everyone who has supported our work over the last few years of our grant project and especially to those that continued to participate during these difficult and unusual times. 

 Thank You Fort Collins!

  • Resource Available: Colorado Health Institute Report - Home Equity

    In August 2019, the Colorado Health Institute published Home Equity: A Vision of Housing Security, Health and Opportunity. The report summarizes data from across Colorado and outlines the wide range of housing and health challenges facing many families and individuals in our state. The following is from the Colorado Health Institute website:


    "Housing affects health. The affordability, stability, quality, and accessibility of housing all play a role in individuals’ and communities’ health. The connection is clear, but it’s a complicated undertaking to build a system that addresses needs and inequities in both housing and health.

    A rapid increase in Colorado housing prices is straining many Colorado households. Discriminatory policies in the past and present make the situation even more challenging for people of color. The statistics are striking:

    • The average Colorado home price increased 77 percent in the past decade, but the state’s median income went up just 4.5 percent.
    • Overall, 26 percent of white Coloradans live in households that are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing; among African Americans, it’s 39 percent.
    • Denver has the nation’s second-highest rate of involuntary displacement of Hispanic residents (behind only San Jose, California).
    The good news is that across Colorado, people are working to build a more equitable system that will allow everyone to have a stable home, which in turn provides the foundation for good health."


    This resource is one among many that are guiding the early work of the Home2Health project. Understanding the context of Colorado as a whole is important as we compile data to show how Fort Collins residents are experiencing challenges with housing affordability and health.
