Mission: To ensure our land widely benefits generations of today and tomorrow, we will create, preserve and advocate for housing that is permanently attainable for a diversity of income levels.
Connect and Learn Together
Thanks to all who came to the June 21, 2017 Housing Dialogue! We had a large turnout of activists, innovators, and stakeholders; we are grateful to all for making it successful (link to summary video). Stay tuned for a monthly follow up series starting with "a "History of Boulder Housing" in Spring 2018. See our other events for opportunities to connect to and learn with other enthusiasts from all "sides".
Development Projects: North St. EcoDistrict-Gentle Infill adjacent to Alpine-Balsam/BCH Redevelopment
Call to Action: Back Porch Op-Ed: Set a Housing Goal for a Diverse Boulder and Innovate for Impact!
Above, some members of the Back Porch Group (not shown: Allyn Feinberg, Scott Holton, David Adamson). This informal diverse group of housing professionals was convened by Goose Creek and over many months of discussion achieved consensus on some paths forward about how to create durably affordable, socially just and beautiful human habitat to match our gorgeous environs. Members were not participating as representatives of their organizations or of Goose Creek.
See March 11, Daily Camera Op Ed. Learn more about call to action and how to participate in Innovate for Impact.
Please Consider These Opportunities to Help Make Real a More Diverse, More Equitable Boulder With a Higher Quality of Life...and Maybe A New Place to Live!
North Street Ecodistrict, 2610 6th St-610 North St. This property is currently under contract to another investor but we hope to find a way to move toward our current by-right plan: purchase, upgrade buildings to near-netzeo energy, resell as 3 appreciation-restricted condos to middle income families with land permanently stewarded by Goose Creek. 10% return offered to investors on this project. Potential qualified buyers also needed.
North Street Ecodistrict, 750-730 North St. Replace two aging duplexes with a mixed income equity coop for up to 15 people and family housing in a new house and attached accessory unit for 2 to 3 families or up to 6 owners. Investors and buyers needed.
Goose Creek generally strives to pay a 5% annual return on all invested funds (3-5 year terms) as well as provide a social return of creating permanently attainable mixed income housing. Call us to discuss how your investment of $5,000 or more can help us all thrive.

“Land Use Policies Inhibit Diversity:
“He would have been brutally frank that the city is still not as diverse as it needs to be, and in part it is because of political decisions made that have escalated the cost of housing tremendously so that it limits who can afford to live in the city, which impacts the ability and the potential for diversity.”
