Income-Aligned Housing Developments

Our Mission: Ensuring Accessible, Affordable Housing. 

Broomfield uses the term Income-Aligned Housing as a more accurate term that aligns different types of housing for different incomes. We work to: 

  • Develop diverse housing options for different income levels 
  • Create policies that increase housing availability 
  • Preserve existing housing 
  • Provide programs and services to help residents remain housed

Through strategic partnerships and targeted resources, we aim to meet the community's housing needs. For more information about Housing programs please visit the Broomfield Housing Programs webpage.

Attainable Homeownership 

The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance outlines a variety of housing styles and types that would be made available for middle-income earners seeking to purchase a home below market rate. It’s utilized by Broomfield to increase access and opportunity for income-aligned housing. 

Key Highlights 

  • Annual Verification Form for Current Homeowners: All homeowners of one of the City and County of Broomfield’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance are required to fill out an annual verification to stay in compliance with the Broomfield Ordinance (Chapter 17-76 of the Municipal Code). Specific requirements must be met throughout the 30-year deed-restricted period, specifically when refinancing, remodeling/capital improvement, and/or upon resale of your home. All borrowers must live in the home. Annual Verification Letters (En Español) will be sent to all deed-restricted homeowners in July. All borrowers must fill out this form by September 30 each year. 
  • Housing Supply: Broomfield aims to increase attainable housing by 3% annually City and County of Broomfield are following the Division of Local Affairs state goals set by Proposition 123 
  • Eligibility: Homes target households earning 80-100% of Area Median Income (AMI) 
  • Long-Term Affordability: 30-year deed restrictions protect ongoing affordability

Important Considerations 

  • Homes are sold below market value 
  • Annual equity growth is capped at 3.5% 
  • Resale requires selling to income-qualified buyers 
  • All resales and refinances MUST be verified by the Housing Division
