The Regional Housing Authority Initiative was directed by an elected officials steering committee (consisting of elected officials from each participating government: Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Eagle County, Garfield County). 

The steering committee worked with HMC and the consultant team through a series of decisions relating to using the state multi-jurisdictional housing authority legislation to foster the creation of more affordable housing in the region.  The results from these decisions formed the basis of an intergovernmental agreement to create a Regional Housing Fund.
