The Missing Middle
Colorado Springs, like much of Colorado, is facing a housing challenge. While there are great efforts underway to address parts of the housing spectrum for the most vulnerable, one area is continually left behind–left to the market to solve the challenge–yet the situation only worsens. Inventory decreases as prices increase, and those in the middle-income range are left with few options. Educators, military personnel, nurses, firefighters, and recent college graduates are faced with a market that leaves them very few options to find the right housing that will allow them to settle down, create roots, and engage in the community for years to come.
