San Juan County’s Home Fund is now in its eighth year of existence since voters approved it back in 2018. This program contributes funding toward the creation and preservation of affordable housing, funded by a Real Estate Excise tax and a one-tenth of 1% sales tax.
To date, the County has contributed over $16 million in funding to 15 affordable housing projects throughout the County. These projects represent 136 units of affordable housing that have already been built or preserved, with another 65 units currently in active development. In total, the County’s Home Fund has been able to contribute funding to 201 units of affordable housing.
