Subject: affordable housing
Valerie:
During the last public meeting about affordable housing I spoke briefly with Jeff Rupp about the possibility of
SWMBIA builders collaborating with HRDC and the city of Bozeman to produce affordable housing. I
suggested that HRDC could create an RFP for an affordable home that meets the needs of some of HRDC's
clients. The RFP could include size, style, amenities, price, profit and overhead, and energy efficiency.
SWMBIA's Green Building Committee has volunteered to cost out such a proposal.
I am hoping you might put this idea on the agenda for CAHAB to vet. If it meets CAHAB's approval, CAHAB
could make a recommendation to HRDC to identify its needs for affordable housing for some of its clients and
provide an RFP.
I think it is important for our community as a whole to collaborate to produce affordable shelter in Bozeman.
This could be a good venue to improve our efforts.
