Affordable Housing

Community workforce  housing has been an issue in Park City since the early 1990s.  In 1995 Park City adopted its first set of housing policies defining incentives to create and preserve affordable housing. Today, Park City promotes quality housing opportunities for persons of all economic levels as a key element of community sustainability. There are more than 400 units of deed restricted affordable rental and ownership housing in Park City.

Community Housing Resources

If you are looking for affordable housing in Park City, the following nonprofit organizations can provide assistance in your search for affordable rental or homeownership opportunities.

Habitat for Humanity, Summit & Wasatch Counties, (www.habitatutah.org ) is a nonprofit housing organization that builds and sells modest homes to low-income families at no interest. They welcome the community to join us as we build simple, affordable houses in partnership with those who would most benefit from more adequate shelter. In order to make the homes affordable, HFH arranges for donated labor and materials and varies the term of the mortgage. Volunteers work side-by-side with recipient families, who invest hundreds of hours of "sweat equity" into their homes and the homes of others.   Habitat for Humanity builds more than houses -- it builds homes, enriches lives, and strengthens communities.

Mountainlands Community Housing Trust (www.housinghelp.org) believes that a safe affordable home is often a family’s first step toward economic self-sufficiency. MCHT addresses the dual problems of housing affordability and availability on three fronts: acquisition and new construction of affordable housing, direct assistance in securing housing and needed basic services, and education and advocacy to promote housing policy.

The Christian Center of Park City (www.parkplaces.org) is a non-denominational resource facility and user-friendly contact point for religious, social, and humanitarian services to the community. For the past eight years the Christian Center has provided food five days a week to our community through its Food Pantry.  The Christian Center Thrift Shoppe is a great place to buy household furniture and other items at a fraction of the cost. And, every winter, hundreds of international students come to Park City to work the local resorts. The Christian Center provides assistance to these seasonal student workers in locating housing and hosts a free international dinner every Tuesday evening from January to March.
