So far, 21 households have been able to move back into their homes. <br />In March 2023, Louisville and Superior sponsored a Marshall Fire Recovery Advisory Panel by <br />the Urban Land Institute (ULI). This panel provided feedback and recommendations for <br />rebuilding housing and climate resilience, including: <br />Affordable homeownership options: The Panel found that new construction in <br />Louisville and Superior is priced above what many households in the area could afford <br />and was exacerbated by the loss of housing in the fire. Particularly for "workforce" <br />households, first time home buyers, and seniors, many new homeownership products <br />(especially single-family detached homes) are unattainable. The Panel found that there <br />are opportunities to develop out more "missing middle housing" to offer more <br />attainable homeownership opportunities, including developing deed restricted housing, <br />subdividing existing lots, and supporting the development of accessory dwelling units. <br />In addition, the Panel recommended cities consider implementing developer incentives <br />for missing middle housing, purchase sites for infill housing, and offer first time <br />homeowner financial assistance. <br />Limited rental opportunities: The Panel found that the loss of housing further <br />constrained an already limited rental stock in the area, leading to rental price gouging. <br />Particularly for lower income residents, there is inadequate attainable rental stock in the <br />areas. To address renter housing needs, the Panel recommended cities implement <br />developer incentives for building rental housing, as well as disaster -related rental <br />housing voucher program for displaced renters. <br />ECONorthwest 48 <br />55 <br />
