During the summer of 1995, a Summit County Housing Working Group
was formed to address the affordable housing Problem in Summit County.
This group included citizens throughout the County. From this report, a
series of recommendations were formed and presented to town councils
and planning commissions. The Housing Authority used these
recommendations as guidelines in developing and implementing housing
programs. The Housing Authority operated with funds provided by County
and Towns of Summit County Summit County Government and the local ski
areas.
In 1995, the SHA formed a nonprofit called Summit Housing Development
Corporation (SHDC), a tax exempted 501(c)(3) corporation. Both entities
were staffed by the same employees. A seven member volunteer Board of
Directors comprised of an expert mortgage lender, attorney, developer,
architect, social worker and title company owner, governed Summit
Housing Authority.
On November 7, 2006, the voters of Summit County approved an additional
County-wide impact fee and sales tax of .125% (12-1/2 cents per $100 of
sales) dedicated to affordable housing purposes. This new tax became
effective on January 1, 2007 and with that the Summit Combined Housing
Authority was born.
This multi-jurisdictional Housing Authority, the first in Colorado, meant a
new Board of Directors, comprised of one elected official from each of the
towns & county. The previous Board of Directors moved into an advisory
position.
The current members of the SCHA Board:
Thomas Davidson, SCHA Chair
Summit County Commissioner
Eileen Davies, SCHA Vice Chair and Secretary
Frisco Town Council
Lucinda Burns, SCHA Board Member
Dillon Town Council
Peggy Long, Treasurer SCHA
Silverthorne Town Council
Rob Millisor, SCHA Board Member
