The Routt County Board of County Commissioners and the City Council of Steamboat Springs established the Yampa Valley Housing Authority in 2003 to address the on-going issue of affordable housing. They charged the organization with planning, financing, acquiring, managing and operating housing programs for low- and moderate-income residents employed in Routt County. When we were formed, YVHA accepted assets and liabilities from the Regional Affordable Living Foundation (RALF). More recently, we have accepted assets and liabilities from Habitat for Humanity of Routt County.
