The Clear Creek County Forum is a place to engage, get your ideas and input heard and seen and to see information and updates from all over Clear Creek County

Welcome to the Clear Creek County Forum

<h1 dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> EVERYONE IN CLEAR CREEK COUNTY DESERVES A CLEAR PATH HOME</h1>Join our Community-Led Affordable &amp; Attainable Housing Initiative<hr>So often when it comes to housing and development, people only acknowledge what they don&rsquo;t want - what they say &lsquo;No&rsquo; to. This is your chance to make your voice heard. Take the following survey and tell your local leaders and elected officials what you &lsquo;Say Yes&rsquo; to.7 questions. 2 minutes. Completely anonymous. And you can help shape the future of housing in your community.And if you are willing to share more, there are 17 additional questions that will take 5-8 minutes to complete that will help us understand housing patterns in Clear Creek County better - and measure community sentiment toward possible solutions. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeq1ayA1uuEP03-rE7fbUTlZmSOfl6gD4nySkCXRFcz6Yp88w/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/f81812b89a57866eaad445248caec8231ae2b3c2/original/1712872239/ac4d05663dfacd1bcc5df2753a34c68c_TakeOurSurveyButton-02.png?1712872239" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a> <hr><h2 dir="ltr"> What is the MJHA?</h2>Everyone who lives or works in Clear Creek County can see firsthand the challenge of housing affordability that we face.A Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Authority, or MJHA, is a possible solution.Formation of an MJHA is currently under consideration, and would include representatives from Clear Creek County, Idaho Springs, Empire, Georgetown and Silver Plume working collaboratively to expand housing choice and affordability. A local MJHA would function as an action-oriented, inter-governmental resource hub for housing guided by grassroots community input and engagement.An MJHA would be designed to answer the question: &ldquo;How do we move from understanding Clear Creek County&rsquo;s housing needs to addressing them effectively?&rdquo;The complex issue of housing requires more than just building houses! Whether you own or rent your home, an MJHA would be a one-stop shop for housing resources and referrals as well as support to navigate local land use processes and housing-related programs.MJHA priorities could include:<ul><li>Encouraging new funding for housing through public/private partnerships and outside investment in the area;</li><li>Implementing programs that support housing through renovation, down payment assistance, weatherizations, and homebuyer education;</li><li>Better managing deed restrictions, local zoning laws, land agreements, property tax incentives, and rental housing;</li><li>Developing new incentives that preserve existing housing and create new affordable homes.</li></ul>Housing is a foundational part of economic development, health, education and stability for our entire community. By aligning interests, working together, and measuring success based on real-world impact, we can ensure that our efforts result in housing being preserved and improved, homebuyers and renters accessing direct assistance, and new resources flooding in to build the homes of tomorrow. &ldquo;We want to build the kind of community that families can thrive in.&rdquo; George Marlin, County Commissioner District 1&ldquo;We want to find a clear path to a home for everyone.&rdquo; Randy Wheelock, County Commissioner District 3&ldquo;If you can get affordable housing anywhere in the county, it benefits all of us.&rdquo; Lynette Kelsey, Georgetown Police Judge <ul><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">The average home price in Clear Creek County was $577,686 in 2023.</li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">The average Clear Creek County worker needs to work 73.3 hours to pay for housing.</li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">Clear Creek County has an affordable housing shortfall of 40%.</li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">According to Clear Creek County employers, 49% of their employees commute from outside of the county.</li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">Rent for a two-bedroom home in Clear Creek County is $1,860/month - 30% above the national average. </li></ul><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ngLOdo4ySe8?&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&wmode=opaque&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>

A Clear Path Home 

A Planning Project for DLD is project to develop a Subarea Plan; a long-range guiding document that addresses both short and long-term needs.

A Planning Project for Dumont-Lawson-Downieville

BackgroundIn 2015, Clear Creek County purchased Alvarado Open Space Park, with the goal of preserving essential wildlife habitat and historically significant land, while supporting basic outdoor recreational needs in and around our community.The property was transformed from a private event venue and renamed as Alvarado Open Space Park, which opened to the community in 2019.Alvarado Open Space Park has easy access for our residents and guests of the County to appreciate for a quiet stroll, dog walking, wildlife viewing, or enjoying the sounds of Clear Creek as it winds through the property. Featuring access to a lovely pond and Clear Creek, along with several walking trails, and in the future, the Clear Creek Greenway, Clear Creek County envisions this property being enjoyed for generations.In 2022, the Open Space Commission invited input to launch further planning. The OSC published a survey and hosted an event on site. See the survey results here.Help us create the Alvarado Master Plan!The OSC now knows that the community values this park as a hidden gem and wants it protected. it is a place to walk on level quiet trails among the cottonwoods and be near the creek and enjoy the sweet little pond. As the OSC prepares to take the next step with Alvarado, and plan the remaining transformation, we need more input. Clear Creek County and the Clear Creek County Open Space Commission are seeking public input on what people want to see at Alvarado Open Space Park. Please participate in this project however you can. Thank you! Please join us for an in person Alvarado Master Plan event on 10/17/2024 at Alvarado Open Space Park. We will be providing snacks and refreshments, tours of the park, a chance to see the proposed Master Plan concepts and give face to face input. Please join us from 10 AM - 12 PM and be a part of making the Alvarado Open Space park a community informed space that helps strengthen our community.

Alvarado Open Space Park Master Plan: What Do You See? What Do You Want?

Through collaboration, creative problem solving and coordinated action, we can address the need for housing that people who live and work in our community can afford.<hr> <h2 dir="ltr">WHAT IS I SAY YES?</h2>Clear Creek County is a strong community and a wonderful place to live.But skyrocketing rent and housing prices are threatening liveability for everyday residents. Working hard is no longer a guarantee that you can afford to put a roof over your head. Friends and neighbors are moving away, sacrificing space and safety, or even losing their homes altogether.It shouldn&rsquo;t be that way.If nothing changes, Clear Creek County will become unaffordable for the very people who define the character and culture of our community. Change is needed.I Say Yes is your opportunity to make your voice heard. &ldquo;We want to know what people do want. What do they say yes to? What do they want to see happen in their communities?&rdquo; Randy Wheelock, County Commissioner District 3&ldquo;Many residents are having to give up 50% of their paychecks just to keep a roof over their head.&rdquo; Chuck Harmon, Mayor of Idaho Springs&ldquo;There is no place that I would rather be. This is the place that is my home.&rdquo; Autumn Brooks, Resident <h2 style="text-align: center;">Take our 7 question, 2 minute Housing Survey!</h2><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeq1ayA1uuEP03-rE7fbUTlZmSOfl6gD4nySkCXRFcz6Yp88w/viewform?usp=sf_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/f81812b89a57866eaad445248caec8231ae2b3c2/original/1712938643/6d34319fcd0e258b2ae80e752e4d933d_TakeOurSurveyButton-02.png?1712938643" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></a> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ngLOdo4ySe8?&wmode=opaque&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>
