Housing Needs Assessment

Houses in a rural area

The Weld County Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) is a required study to inventory existing housing availability in unincorporated Weld County. The HNA combines housing, demographic, resource, and economic data to inform county commissioners about housing policies and trends to ensure county programs, such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), align with the county’s goals. The process was done in four parts:

  1. A Profile of Weld County’s demographics, economy, and future growth projections.
  2. An Assessment of the current housing stock, areas of need, and trends to improve future development.
  3. A Fair Housing Analysis to identify potential economic, policy and cost barriers that could prevent equal access to housing within the county.
  4. Policy Recommendations to guide Weld County officials on what is recommended for the county to encourage the development and support of ample, stable, and cost-effective housing supply at affordable levels for all residents.

A draft of the plan is now ready for public review prior to being presented to the Weld County Board of Commissioners for adoption on November 3, 2025. After reviewing the draft plan(PDF, 6MB), the public is welcome to email comments to ctb@weld.gov or may provide public comment during the November 3 meeting at 9 a.m.
