A good community needs good homes. When we open the door to make housing accessible to all, it allows people to live where they work, families to raise their children in vibrant neighborhoods and all of Longmont to thrive and prosper. By meeting our city’s need for inclusive, equitable and affordable housing, we can help ensure that Longmont is a place that all can call home.
What Longmont is Doing
For households who make 80% of the area median income or less, Longmont-area housing has been out of reach since the early 2010s. We’ve taken several steps to help bridge this gap, including:
Our Housing and Community Investment (HCI) department works to connect new and existing residents with safe and affordable housing options. If you need assistance with any of the information provided here, or have additional questions, you can find contact information for HCI here.

Many factors can affect Longmont’s housing environment, creating a constantly-changing picture. To address this, Longmont has developed a consolidated plan to guide our housing and community development initiatives for low- and moderate-income households. This road map is revisited regularly to keep it up to date with Longmont’s needs. Much of this is done with the assistance of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, and we regularly report on what funding we’ve been awarded and how it was put to use.
A number of tools, services and partners can help make the affordable housing journey a little easier. Check out our “toolbox” of resources below to find what you need:
A variety of housing options to ensure Longmont remains a vibrant and inclusive place where people from all cultures can come together and make our community stronger.
Fair Housing laws promote equal access to homeownership and rental housing opportunities
Fair Housing laws are fundamental to the values of our community. By protecting against housing discrimination, fair housing makes Longmont a stronger community and a better place to live, work, and play.
Under federal law, it is illegal to discriminate against any person under the protected classes: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Colorado State law adds the categories of marital status, creed, ancestry, and source of income.
Housing discrimination is illegal. Both state and federal laws prohibit discrimination in housing based on protected classes. Also, it is illegal for anyone to threaten, coerce, intimidate, or interfere with anyone exercising a fair housing right or assisting others who exercise that right. Visit the Fair Housing Information page for more information.
