The city is investing millions in the Ponderosa neighborhood in North Boulder to help existing residents afford replacement homes. The financing model, never before tested in Boulder, could be expanded across the city to address the housing crisis. City of Boulder seeks to redevelop a mobile home park without pricing out its residents. There are three additional communities located beyond city limits, but eligible for annexation, including Columbine, San Lazaro and Table Mesa Village.
The city is not signing new leases for new residents to live in the mobile homes. Instead, it is purchasing them — often bringing them to the landfill, according to Firnharber — and replacing them with the Habitat homes. The mobile homes, nearly all of which are owner-occupied, are among the most affordable properties in the City of Boulder. And most of the residents fall into the federal government’s definition of “extremely low-income,” earning less than $26,000, according to surveys conducted by CU Boulder researchers. What makes the program different from others in Boulder is the financing.

Schlereth said the residents recently received permission from the city to relocate the wishing well to an empty lot inside the park. She said the residents first have to move a pile of gravel and plant flowers. Some have lost trust over the past few years as they have dealt with the impacts of construction, Schlereth said. She said she lost water for 10 days and her neighbors’ yards are still damaged. You also don’t need to leave the community to find plenty to keep you entertained.

Carlos Valdez, a Ponderosa resident, stood beside city officials in early May with a shovel in hand to celebrate the groundbreaking for the project. But whether the city can keep the Ponderosa residents there and avoid long-term gentrification will be a tall task.
The construction, which began in May, marks a milestone in a city-backed redevelopment project for the mobile home park that has been decades in the making. The project has drawn support from residents who see it as a needed investment in the community, and concern from others wary of the city’s intentions amid fears of being priced out. Boulder Cascade is a gated, pet-friendly, age-qualified manufactured home community located in world-famous Las Vegas, Nevada. The city is purchasing residents’ mobile homes for about $28,000 on average, according to officials. It plans to spend about $3 million from its Affordable Housing Fund to help cover the cost of mortgages for interested residents so they pay only 30% of their income on the home. And the city has said the new construction is for Ponderosa residents — but that anyone who wants to stay in their own mobile homes can.
To help residents afford the new homes, the city is planning to front more than $3 million to pay for zero-interest loans aimed at helping residents cover their mortgage. Kathy Schlereth, 67, who lives in the Ponderosa mobile home park in North Boulder, stood watching a backhoe claw out the foundation for a proposed triplex across her street. She’s used to watching hang gliders soar above the mountains from this vantage, not the churn of construction machinery.
