Consultant will perform Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) services to assist the Town of Ridgway and Ouray County, two completely separate organizations and jurisdictions, in achieving compliance with SB 24-174, through developing a strategy to assess current and future housing needs in the Town and County, analyzing data provided by staff, conducting market research and collecting additional data, developing methodologies to analyze data, conducting stakeholder engagement and coordinating with advisory groups, planning and coordinating with staff, and other methods. The selected consultant shall consult the Housing Needs Assessment Guide for Colorado Communities that was issued in December 2024 to provide guidance on how to conduct a HNA, with a focus on state HNA requirements established by Senate Bill 24-174. The result should be a robust regional Housing Needs Assessment that addresses the unique needs of the two jurisdictions.
