Project Description

Root lead the development of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado’s Housing Strategic Plan, which includes a policy toolkit as well as prioritized actions for the city over the next five years. The Plan was developed with significant collaboration with city staff, boards and commissions, City Council and other stakeholders, all of which was facilitated by the Root team. Plan development occurred during meeting-restrictions related to the COVID pandemic; as such, we utilized a variety of online meeting tools to facilitate participation and foster collaboration. Following adoption of the Strategic Plan by City Council, Root continued consulting with City staff on implementation planning, policy analysis,  and outcome tracking through a public-facing dashboard.

Years: 2020-2021

Fun Fact

Despite in-person gathering restrictions during plan development, nearly 450 community members shared their experiences, feedback and solutions to contribute to the plan.
