Detailed Company Background RRC Associates, Inc. is submitting this proposal on RRC Associates and Rees Consulting, Inc., to complete a comprehensive assessment of housing needs for Eagle County. Wendy Sullivan will be the lead contractor and will organize the efforts of the firms involved in this needs assessment. Chris Cares, Principal Melanie Rees Wendy Sullivan, Planner Rees Consulting, Inc. RRC Associates, Inc. PO Box 3845 4940 Pearl East Cir, Suite 103 Crested Butte, CO 81224 Boulder, Co 80301 970/349-9845 303/449-6558 970/349-6458 FAX 303/449-6587 FAX We have found that housing needs assessments are an important component of an overall housing strategy for any community. Our unique approach to primary data collection and key informant interviews results in a report with recommendations that are easily understood and educational. Most importantly, recommendations to address the needs identified in the study are grounded in the local context and support the implementation of workable polices and program strategies. B. Staff Resumes Complete staff resumes have been included in Appendix A. Wendy Sullivan will be the primary contact to be used by Eagle County. C. Experience In addition to our work in Eagle County with housing issues and other research since 1990, other recent relevant projects include: . Town of Vail (Colorado, 2004,2006) - RRC Associates, Inc., has been involved with housing issues and research in Vail for several years. "Vail Housing Research, Choices and Potential Outcomes" was completed in 2004, which was an assessment of current and future housing needs in Vail with particular focus on (1) future employment anticipated as a result of new development and redevelopment within Vail, (2) the impact of second home buyers in the area and (3) non-residential development occurring down valley. RRC Associates, Inc., is also presently involved in a Housing Nexus study for the Town of Vail, which incorporates a homeowner survey to understand the link between residences and home service jobs. . Teller County (Colorado, 2006) - RRC Associates, Inc., headed this Housing Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan. The study included primary research in the form of household surveys, employer surveys and in-commuter surveys, along with key informant and social service agency interviews to understand housing needs throughout Teller County and in the incorporated cities of Woodland Park, Cripple Creek and Victor. We worked closely with the Teller County Housing Task Force, which included city and county staff, elected officials, non-profit and economic development representatives and residents, throughout the study and conducted open houses to solicit input regarding the key findings from this study and the recommendations that were under consideration. The Strategic Plan was created as a housing planning tool that identifies housing needs along with multiple implementation strategies that the county and cities can pursue as they work to address housing needs and goals in the area. . Garfield County (Colorado, 2006) - RRC Associates in team with McCormick and Associates conducted a Housing Needs Assessment and Nexus Study for Garfield County. We analyzed housing conditions and demand in Garfield County and its municipalities to identify current housing needs in the area and expected needs in the future. Garfield County is reviewing their inclusionary zoning ordinance and a primary outcome of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of the existing ordinance in light of housing needs throughout the area. A Nexus Study was also conducted to support a possible commercial and residential housing linkage program in the County. A primary finding from the study was that housing needs are not consistent throughout the County, with vastly different needs in the Carbondale and Glenwood Springs area than in the western part of the County (Rifle, Parachute, Silt and New Castle). . Eastern Sierra (California, 2004) - Using a combination of a county-wide household survey that focused on seniors and employee households, along with written surveys to area employers and employees, key informant interviews with lenders, property managers, realtors and area employers, the recently completed Housing Needs Assessment for these Counties is being used to support the work of the Inyo County Housing Task Force and the Mono County Board of Supervisors to evaluate existing housing programs and identify policies and programs that will better meet the changing needs of area employees and residents within the constraints of limited land availability, pressures from out of county buyers and a growing tourist and service based economy. . Blaine County (Idaho, 2006) - Rees Consulting, Inc., managed this project in team with RRC Associates, Inc., to update the Housing Needs Assessment conducted in 1999. This study incorporated primary research in the form of household surveys, employer surveys, in-commuter surveys and key informant interviews to understand recent demographic and employment changes, housing and commercial development (past, present and pending development), housing market trends and workforce housing needs and preferences. The focus of this study was to provide Blaine County with estimates of catch-up and keep-up housing, changes in workforce housing needs since the previous study and the types, prices and locations of units demanded by the current workforce. We have completed numerous other countywide projects that included a combination of rural and resort areas. We are particularly proud of the significant number of communities that have retained us for multiple projects over the years: . Elbert County, Colorado (2002) . Clear Creek County, Colorado, 1996/2002 (Georgetown, Idaho Springs) . Eagle County, Colorado, 1990, 1996 and1999/2001/2002/2005 (Vail and Towns of Eagle, Gypsum and Avon) . Grand County, Colorado, 1992 and 2001 (Winter Park Resort, Tabernash, Grand Lake) . Garfield County, Colorado, 2001 (Assessed impact of housing demand on the County from Aspen) . San Miguel County, Colorado, 1996 and 1999/2000 (Telluride Resort Area) . Routt County Housing Study, Colorado, 2003 (Steamboat Springs, Hayden and Oak Creek) . Teton County, Wyoming, 2000, 2001,2005 (Teton County and communities- residential job generation study (2000), planning and community research (2001), housing needs assessment survey (2005) . Blaine County, Idaho, 2001, 2006 (Blaine County) . Central Oregon, 2000/2003, 2006 (Bend and Cook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties) . Eastern Sierra Council of Governments, 2004 (Mono and Inyo Counties California) . Mammoth Lakes, 2005,2006 (California) D. Project Narrative The primary research techniques we are proposing for Eagle County include household surveys, employer surveys, in-commuter surveys and key informant interviews. Combined with past studies and publicly available information, results from the surveys and key informant interviews will provide clear insights about the existing needs from current residents and workers, as well as in-commuters. More specifically, the steps of the study are outlined as follows: Data Collection We propose a combination of primary research methods to supplement the information available through existing reports and studies (e.g., previous housing studies and surveys) and public sources (e.g., US Census, Department of Local Affairs, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Colorado Division of Housing, County Assessor, etc.). Our recommended techniques stem from a need to understand both resident population trends, as well as the economic climate in the area. Our proposed primary research methods include: . Household surveys; . Employee surveys; . Employer surveys; and . Key Informant Interviews with local employers, area developers, housing agencies, planning and redevelopment staff, realtors and property managers. These research methods will provide more detailed information on local housing and employment patterns, preferences, availability and perceptions than is currently available through existing data sources. Combined with information from the US Census, Colorado Division of Housing and local agencies, data from the surveys and interviews will be used to develop an Eagle County housing profile; define the market size, demographics and configuration; and explain population and household characteristics, needs and preferences. Data Presentation Publicly available information will be gathered to provide a preliminary understanding of population, household and housing unit conditions in the area. This typically includes information from the US Census and other published documents, including the State of Colorado Vacancy Survey Report. This information will be compared to survey results to understand changes that may have occurred over the past 5 to 6 years. Information to be gathered and discussed comprises: . Population, number of households by household type, average household size, presence of children and seniors; . Number of renter and owner occupied households and housing costs; . Average income and income distribution patterns for renters and owners; . Commuting patterns, including percentage of persons who live and work in Eagle County and those who work elsewhere; . Estimate of cost-burdened households (those who pay 30% or more of their income for housing); . Percentage of households who have moved into the area within the last five years; . Value of homes in the area, by unit type; and . Rental housing trends, including average rents and vacancy rates in Eagle County. Primary Research We are proposing to conduct several surveys and key informant interviews to understand current conditions in Eagle County. The approaches for obtaining this information include: . Household SU/vey Our goal in the household survey is to ensure that surveys reach a representative sample of households in Eagle County. By proper sampling technique and use of incentives, we can ensure that the responses received cover the range of household types, tenure and income groups needed to fully understand the needs and opportunities in the County. We are proposing to distribute 4,000 surveys throughout the area. We are also proposing that a meaningful incentive be offered to survey participants, such as grocery certificates, to encourage participation from all types of households. The proposed incentives have proven to be very effective when offered in other areas. We propose to provide a Spanish version of the survey to reach the important Hispanic population in Eagle County. As discussed, we anticipate assistance from the Housing Authority in reaching this group of respondents for household survey distribution, including attending local events, churches and organized groups. . Employer and Employee Survey The employee and employer surveys will supplement information from the household survey. To ensure that the surveys reach a representative sample of the universe of employers in Eagle County, we will sample a minimum of 500 employers, 50 of which will be contacted by phone and sought for in-commuter survey participation. Specifically, we will: 0 Assemble a list of employers throughout the study area (based on QCEW employer address files, and/or other lists as may be available). 0 Draw a sample of employers that is representative of the universe of all employers, taking into account employer size (number of employees) and location. Special care will be taken to include the largest employers in the survey, who account for a disproportionate share of jobs in the region. 0 Ensure identified employers are contacted through the mail (or in the case of the largest employers, in person) and providing them with survey materials, including an employer survey, an appropriate number of in-commuting employee surveys and a cover letter and explanatory materials describing the purpose, importance and instructions for implementing the survey. Employer surveys will help us understand housing from the viewpoint of employers (e.g. housing programs they do or will support, employment issues related to cost of living and housing choices), as well as current and future business operations and expected changes in employment. We can also add questions of local significance, based on any pending housing or employment issues specific to the community, as needed in the study. The in-commuting employee surveys will identify the characteristics of in-commuting households, including their types of employment and salary, housing costs, reasons for choosing their place and type of residence, interest in living in Eagle County if housing was available, interest in finding a job located closer to their current place of residence, housing preferences and needs and costs related to commuting. Spanish versions of in-commuting surveys will also be provided. . Local Realtor and Property Manager Interviews Local realtor and rental property manager interviews will be conducted as a supplement to the employee survey to learn what households are seeking when looking to purchase or rent a unit. We will also learn about their experiences in the current housing market, including concessions that are being offered, competitive products (both rental and for-sale) and why households move into and/or around Eagle County. We want to gain additional insights about the second home buying in the area to understand its impacts on the housing market in the County. These interviews will help define housing preferences in the area, including bedroom configuration, size, location and amenities. An effort will also be made to understand absorption rates of projects, with a focus on income-restricted properties - for sale and rental. . Housing Profile and Needs We will describe the housing inventory and availability of both rental and for sale properties at various price levels using a combination of information from the surveys as well as building permits, Eagle County Assessor's Data, projects that are planned and under construction and any information from the Board of Realtors, property managers and housing agencies. Further, the housing supply will be compared to the demand for housing to identify any gaps in the availability of housing in different price, size and type categories. The housing profile will include information on the age, condition, type and size of units. Rental rates and purchase and mortgage costs will also be examined. Catch- up and keep-up figures for housing will be provided both under population and employment growth rates (as estimated by DOLA) and under a "change the paradigm" assumption (given to us by Eagle County) based on growth management limitations. Finally, the demographics of households in need of housing at different AMI ranges will be discussed along with recommendations on the types, sizes, locations and price points for units for these populations, as primarily determined from preferences stated on the surveys. We have proposed an optional focus qroup that could be conducted with persons on waitlists for workforce housing or other target populations to probe more specific design and amenity preferences for these groups. . Employment We will provide information on the number of residents that live and work in the area, including the types of jobs in which they are employed, their location of employment and their average household incomes. Surveys will provide information on the types of employees and positions that have the most difficulty locating and affording suitable housing. Information on the geographic and economic characteristics of the area will be obtained from the employee surveys, employer interviews, and data from local economic development agencies, Colorado State Demographer's Office, Center for Business and Economic Forecasting, area planning departments, land- use maps and other local information. Workshops and Presentation We anticipate two work/discussion sessions: (1) Kick-off meeting for introductions and to target primary research efforts, acquire interview contacts and gather existing reports and needed data and (2) A work session on or near the release of the draft report to discuss preliminary findings and help focus recommendations. We have also budgeted for a presentation to the Eagle County Board of County Commissioners of the final report. We will define a mutually agreeable schedule for hosting the work sessions and report presentation. Report Organization We anticipate providing results in an easy to understand and user friendly written report, as well as in database formats, suitable for use by local planners and decision makers. Our team includes planners with extensive public and private experience and we are very conscious of the need for data sharing for multiple community purposes. Our techniques for reporting results will encourage this sharing. The report will be made available on CD-ROM. We will provide 5 bound copies of the final report. E. Project Schedu Ie We anticipate fielding surveys in mid-to-Iate November when businesses will be in gear for the winter season. We anticipate any having a draft report in mid-January and the final report in early February. Following are some of the key tasks and anticipated time to comolete the work.
