Letter to the Editor: Support 6A for Workforce Housing

Posted by Community Contributor | Oct 22, 2022

Dear Editor,

Nearly ten years ago, the Chaffee County Commissioners and local leaders formed the Chaffee Housing Trust with the expressed goal of addressing workforce and affordable housing. At that time it was an important need.

Today, the workforce housing in Chaffe County is at a crisis and has seriously impacted the majority of the citizens in the community. Please consider voting yes on ballot #6A to work towards alleviating our housing shortage. The economy and social structure of Chaffee County are at a crossroads.

Jerry Mallett
Former Chaffee County Commissioner
