What is the Regional Housing Needs Assessment?
Larimer County, Loveland, and Fort Collins are partnering on a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) to determine the greatest housing needs and better understand challenges faced by residents in finding and keeping stable housing. The HNA will be followed by jurisdictional Housing Action Plans (HAP) that identify strategies related to housing affordability, stability, and future growth. Not only will the HNA and future HAP help the County, Loveland, and Fort Collins better serve their communities, but completion also unlocks funding preferences from the State. (Click here for more info on the state regs and content of the HNA).
Updates and Next Steps (as of February 2026)
Thank you to those who participated in a community meeting, focus group, or survey!
