As a citizen of Bozeman, the Chairperson of Age Friendly Bozeman and a member of the Bozeman Welcoming
Neighbors coalition, I strongly urge the city not to rescind the Affordable Housing Ordinance which was created to
ensure new affordable development to better serve our community including age friendly smaller homes designed
for all ages and abilities. I am not opposed to tweaking or updating current thresholds / incentives of the AHO to
empower the creation of starter homes, but I disapprove of rescinding it entirely. It is time to grant our older adult
population an affordable option that allows them to age in place without the burden of caring for high maintenance
estates that diminish their fixed incomes via upkeep and high property taxes. It is time to create options that allow
the aging population to age with grace and dignity and remain engaged in community life outside the walls of senior
care facilities. It's time to make Bozeman more livable for all ages and abilities!
If you would like to submit additional documents (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .gif, .jpg, .png, .rtf, .txt) along with
your comment, you may alternately address agenda@bozeman.net directly to ensure receipt of all information.
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
