Temporary Winter Community Housing Program Full for 2023/2024 Season

Nine tenants to return to temporary housing in the Town Park lot

(October 10, 2023) – Telluride, CO --- The Town of Telluride’s Temporary Winter Community Housing Program (TWCHP) is full for the upcoming winter season. After receiving more than four dozen inquiries between mid-July and early September for the nine TWCHP spaces, staff determined that the most reasonable approach would be to offer the spaces to the individuals who had already lived there and understood the program.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to the people who have shown interest in our program and simultaneously expressed an understanding of how difficult the housing situation is for everyone involved,” said Community Services Director DeLanie Tapson.

The Town opened the TWCHP in 2021 to allow up to nine RVs, campers, or trailers to reside in the Town Park parking lot, creating additional affordable housing options. The program has been full each season since opening, housing at least nine tenants throughout the winter.

Nine approved program residents will occupy this year’s temporary housing spaces from November 20 through April 14. No more than two people and no more than two domestic animals are allowed per space. Rent for the upcoming program season is increasing from $300 to $315 per space with a $315 move-in deposit.

Programa de viviendas comunitarias temporales de invierno completo para la temporada 2023/2024

Nueve inquilinos regresarán a viviendas temporales en el lote de Town Park

(10 de octubre de 2023) – Telluride, CO --- El Programa de Vivienda Comunitaria Temporal de Invierno (TWCHP) de la ciudad de Telluride está completo para la próxima temporada de invierno. Después de recibir más de cuatro docenas de consultas entre mediados de julio y principios de septiembre sobre los nueve espacios del TWCHP, el personal determinó que el enfoque más razonable sería ofrecer los espacios a las personas que ya habían vivido allí y entendían el programa.

"Nos gustaría extender nuestra gratitud a las personas que han mostrado interés en nuestro programa y al mismo tiempo expresaron su comprensión de lo difícil que es la situación de la vivienda para todos los involucrados", dijo la directora de servicios comunitarios, DeLanie Tapson.

La ciudad abrió el TWCHP en 2021 para permitir que hasta nueve vehículos recreativos, caravanas o remolques residan en el estacionamiento del parque de la ciudad, creando opciones adicionales de vivienda asequible. El programa ha estado completo cada temporada desde su apertura y ha albergado al menos a nueve inquilinos durante todo el invierno.

Nueve residentes del programa aprobado ocuparán los espacios de vivienda temporal de este año del 20 de noviembre al 14 de abril. No se permiten más de dos personas ni más de dos animales domésticos por espacio. El alquiler para la próxima temporada del programa aumentará de $300 a $315 por espacio con un depósito de mudanza de $315.

Para obtener más información sobre el Programa de Vivienda Comunitaria Temporal de Invierno de la Ciudad, visite bit.ly/tottwchp.
