Strategic Plan
• 4.5.b Develop a Comprehensive Affordable Housing Action
Plan that includes but is not limited to:
1. Mandates the creation of affordable housing across all dwelling unit types.
2. Provides the prescribed flexibility in the manner in which the mandate can be
accomplished.
3. Provides a substantial, broad-based and reliable source of funding for the
construction of affordable housing and for affordable housing loans.
4. Actively encourages Bozeman’s major employers to develop workforce housing
programs for their employees.
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.
