1. Transitional Housing

• Implementing Innovative Solutions:
  Rob plans to implement transitional housing programs, an innovative and proven solution to some of the community's toughest problems.
  ‍
• Enhancing Stability and Autonomy:
  These programs combine affordable housing with services that help people facing complex challenges live with stability, autonomy, and dignity.
  ‍
• Improving Lives:
  Successful transitional housing improves housing stability, employment, mental and physical health, and school attendance, and reduces active substance use.
  ‍

2. Workforce Housing

• Supporting Middle-Income Workers:
  Rob is committed to developing workforce housing, which is affordable to households earning between 60 and 120 percent of the area median income (AMI). This targets middle-income workers such as police officers, firefighters, teachers, health care workers, retail clerks, and more.
  ‍
• Filling the Gap:
  Workforce housing fills the gap for households who may not qualify for housing subsidized by major programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program or the Housing Choice Vouchers program.
  ‍

3. Supportive Housing‍

• Providing Supportive Solutions:
  Rob plans to implement supportive housing programs, which combine affordable housing with services that help people facing complex challenges live with stability, autonomy, and dignity.
  ‍
• Enhancing Quality of Life:
  Successful supportive housing improves housing stability, employment, mental and physical health, and school attendance, and reduces active substance use.
  ‍
• Cost-Effective Approach:
  Supportive housing costs essentially the same amount as keeping people homeless and stuck in the revolving door of high-cost crisis care and emergency housing. It's a cost-effective solution that improves lives and strengthens the community.

We believe this approach to affordable housing is comprehensive, innovative, and focused on the needs of Aurora's residents.
