Founded in 2018, the Home Trust of Ouray County (HTOC) began as a community land trust implementing a county-wide affordable housing strategic plan. Since then, HTOC has expanded beyond land stewardship to deliver comprehensive housing solutions from affordable homeownership to deed restriction management and long-term rentals. HTOC centers their work on permanent affordability and displacement prevention.
In 2022, HTOC learned about a unique preservation opportunity through a board member. The Ouray Sixplex, one of the few remaining unrestricted affordable rental properties in Ouray, offered rents far below market rate. The property was for sale and at risk of being converted to luxury or short-term rental housing. HTOC quickly mobilized to preserve these permanently affordable homes.
