Town Council Direction on Community Housing Lottery Ticket Eligibility
Presenter(s): George Ruther, Director of Housing and Missy Johnson, Housing Coordinator
George reviewed the accompanying memo reflecting Town Council direction for the upcoming
Community Housing Lotteries. Three options were presented to the Council, which came from
a melding of direction or desires that have come from the Council and the Authority.
The objective of this initiative is to amend the lottery eligibility requirements for housing
lotteries ensuring credibility and integrity within the lottery process. The Town Council asked to
see a requirement for a home buyer education class completed before the application
deadline. They are still weighing out the desire to provide additional tickets in support of
longevity of working in Vail, but understand the need for streamline verification.
Discussion ensured around the memo and agreement to present a singular suggestion at the
upcoming Council meeting. In addition to detailing specific verification document will be
nd
accepted, the Authority came to consensus for the 2 option on the memo and the Housing
Staff will present the following at an upcoming Council meeting.
(3) TICKETS TOTAL One ticket for a complete application, one for not owning residential
property in Vail, one for a history of applying for 1 or more TOV housing lotteries and not being
