We develop affordable housing to sustain
and strengthen our community
We bring resources, people,
and community together
For 30 years, the Jackson Hole Community Housing Trust has been relentless in its pursuit of solutions to our community’s housing problem. As our local housing issues become more complicated and expensive to address, our resolve intensifies to investigate every possible opportunity to effectively tackle this community-wide problem.
“Affordable housing is an issue I think about every day. My job as Sheriff is to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of our community. This requires that I have well-trained, dedicated personnel, who stick around long enough to understand the nuances of Jackson. Retaining staff is a huge challenge - 90% of my patrol officers commute to work every day, with only 10% living in Teton County. I am convinced the sustainability of this department depends on access to affordable housing in the valley.”

Affordable housing is about people—hardworking people who teach our children, administer our healthcare, plow our streets, protect our community, and preserve our environment. If the people who care for our families and provide essential services are squeezed out of Jackson because they cannot afford a home, Jackson will cease to be the community we all know and love.
“When I was introduced to the work of the Community Housing Trust, I was impressed by the Trust’s ability to pool private philanthropy and engage interested employers to create housing solutions for hundreds of Jacksonites. The Community Housing Trust is an effective private sector solution making a significant dent in the housing shortage that affects so many people in our community today. It is a good deal for taxpayers, community members and all stakeholders in Jackson.”
