2026 Affordable Housing Incentive Program applications to open
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — On Wednesday, the City of Grand Junction will start accepting Letters of Request (LOR) for the Affordable Housing Incentive Program. The program aims to provide a fiscal incentive for developing affordable housing in the community. Developers interested in being considered for the incentive in 2026 must submit their LOR between June 1 and July 1. The incentive provides that the city will pay on behalf of affordable housing projects, development impact fees like transportation or police, and plant investment fees for city water and sewer services. Designed to lower financial barriers, the city hopes that the incentives will make it more feasible for developers to create affordable housing units for lower-income residents. 'This program is one way the City is actively partnering with the development community to bring more affordable housing units to Grand Junction,' said Community Development Director Tamra Allen. Developers who plan to submit a LOR are encouraged to schedule a pre-submittal meeting with the City's Housing Division for feedback on their application and to ensure they have all of the submission requirements. Projects must ensure long-term affordability, like terms enforced through deed restrictions or land use covenants, to receive the incentive. In 2025, the city approved $200,578 in general funds to support the incentive program. The program assisted Habitat for Humanity Housing Resources of Western Colorado in constructing up to 18 affordable units. 'The Affordable Housing Incentive was designed as a result of the City's adopted Housing Strategy and is one of the many commitments by the City to meaningfully advance the delivery of much needed affordable units to the community,' stated Allen.

Libby Middle High School gets new water filling stations with LOR grant
Feb. 21—A LOR Foundation grant was awarded to Libby Middle High School to purchase and install seven new water bottle filling stations. "These new stainless steel filling stations are replacing some very old, original white porcelain water fountains," Assistant Principal/Activities Director Mark Rochin said. "The fountains were a welcome surprise to all the students, staff and community members. Rochin wrote the grant with the help of local LOR director Tabitha Viergutz. The new water fountains replaced many old fixtures that have not been used in a long time and in some places the fountains were placed in new areas. The areas that now have new water fountain stations are the front lobby (where two were installed), music hallway, science/math wing, middle school hallway, auto/wood shop and the welding shop. "The school would like to thank the LOR Foundation, Mike Rosas Northwest Plumbing and Masters Electric for their expertise in installing the new water fountains. The school now has a total of 11 refrigerated filter water stations," Rochin said. Long time welding teacher Mort Curtiss said, "It is great that my welding students do not have to leave the welding room for some fresh cool drinking water." LOR and Libby Public Schools have partnered together on a number of initiatives to improve conditions school facilities. Following the idea of a teacher and coach, a LOR grant helped buy mobile drink and hydration stations, a project that helped several sports programs. The two drink stations have filters and a portable Cramer Power Flo 50 Hydration Station will benefiting Libby's youth athletes from track and field to football and soccer. The Middle High School was able to purchase essential medical supplies and equipment such as defibrillators and wall mounted exercise stations for the trainer's room, ensuring students and staff can receive immediate care when injuries occur during school hours or extracurricular events.
