Carbondale is located in a unique and highly desirable valley. The Town of Carbondale recognizes that having a supply of Community Housing attainable by working households in the Town of Carbondale is critical to retaining a diversified and sustainable town, having the character and sense of community of a town where people can live and work in the same area. The citizens of the Town of Carbondale do not want Carbondale to become an exclusive community. Historically, working persons and households have been able to attain housing in the Carbondale area; and the Town of Carbondale currently reflects a mix of socio-economic backgrounds. The Town further recognizes that there is a growing gap between housing costs and wages in Carbondale. Therefore, the Board of Trustees has determined that it needs to develop and maintain a Community Housing program.
The intent of the of the Community Housing program is to mitigate the impact of market-rate housing construction on the limited supply of available land suitable for housing. The goal of these regulations is to require new development to provide community housing attainable by persons working in the Mid-Valley and paying no more than 30 percent of their household income for total housing expense, including debt service, homeowner’s insurance, real estate taxes, land lease if any, and HOA dues, or rent plus utilities in the case of affordable rentals. For more information, please read Town of Carbondale Community Housing Guidelines. More information may also be found at carbondalegov.org.
