Affordable Housing for Our Workforce

A shortage of affordable housing is an issue throughout all of Colorado, especially in resort communities where local employees are critical for tourism and quality of life for residents, second homeowners and visitors. As a world class resort, the Town of Breckenridge remains dedicated to protecting the vitality of our community.
