Housing & Citizen Services

In Pueblo, we understand that housing is more than just a roof over your head—it’s the foundation for opportunity, stability, and growth. That’s why the City of Pueblo has developed five bold strategies to tackle the affordable housing challenges facing our community.

These strategies are more than just plans on paper; they are the guiding principles that inspire and shape every initiative led by the dedicated Department of Housing and Citizen Services. Rooted in creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to inclusivity, these strategies are driving real change, helping to ensure that everyone in Pueblo has access to safe, affordable, and sustainable housing.

5 Strategies for Affordable Housing

Boarded, Blighted & Burnt

Identify redevelopment solutions for homes that need demolition due to lack of maintenance, condemnation, structural failure or fires
Rehabilitation

Preserve existing housing stock by expanding funding for low-moderate income homeowners that need home repairs.
Infrastructure

Assist with infrastructure fees for affordable housing development. Add infrastructure to existing City-owned vacant parcels to create development-ready properties.
Blighted Commercial

Assist with the acquisition and demolition of properties with large vacant commercial buildings to make sites ready for redevelopment of high-density residential units.
Homeless Housing Options

Create transitional housing options for individuals exiting homelessness, including non-congregate sheltering options and support for Rapid Re-Housing and Permanent Supportive Housing.
