Affordable Housing FAQ
Q. I managed to buy a home in Frisco without help. Why can’t other people do the same?
A. Within the last 10-15 years, home prices have increased dramatically in Frisco, while incomes have stayed about the same. According to the Summit Combined Housing Authority, in 1990 the gap between median home price and one person median income in the county was three times higher than income, and in 2007 the gap is now 14 times higher.
Q. Doesn’t Frisco already have affordable housing units?
A. There are 45 deed-restricted units in Frisco. Eight of these units are duplex units in South End Village, and the remaining are condominium units.
Q. Why is the town not considering the Interstate Parcel (9.4 acres) behind Safeway for affordable housing?
A. The Frisco Town Council has identified this parcel for economic uses to ensure the long term sustainability of the town. However, once Council initiates discussions on the development of this site, these will include conversations regarding if housing in combination with commercial uses would be appropriate on this parcel.
