Action Plan Structure • Community Housing Objectives • Action Strategies • Proposed Action Items • Core Components Three Objectives 1. Income Levels. Community housing should serve the full range of incomes without losing sight of safety net programs. The primary focus should be on: • Ownership housing from 80% to 120% AMI, while also incentivizing the production of missing middle housing up to 150% AMI; • Additional resident and employee rentals up to 80% AMI; and • Safety net rentals below 30% AMI 2. Jobs-Housing Relationship. Produce community housing at a rate that exceeds, or at least matches, job growth at income levels and ratios being earned by Bozeman employees 3. Community Housing Built and Preserved. Strive to produce community housing at a rate that matches the spectrum of community housing needs, while also preserving what we have through a target of no net loss of existing community housing stock. 19 Action Strategies 1.
