Mayor Andrus and Members of the City Commission:
Over the past few decades, the City of Bozeman has launched numerous programs, projects,
incentives and regulations to add to the inventory of affordable housing in the community. Some efforts were more effective than others but in each case the intent was to increase the
inventory. In the matter before you tonight, we are looking to preserve 141 subsidized
rental homes in the existing Boulevards Apartments and Darlinton Manor which address
the housing needs of very low income community members. Your action is critical at this
time because the subsidy providing the affordability is irreplaceable.
You are to be congratulated for recognizing that the preservation of existing affordable housing is
at least as critical as adding to our inventory. Thank you so much for your ongoing efforts to
provide (and preserve) such housing in the community.
