Town and county asked for $1M each for FY25 Housing Supply Program

I want to know one thing before we argue about “priorities” again, are we actually putting real money behind housing, or are we just admiring charts while workers keep doubling up.

On Monday, the Jackson/Teton County Housing Authority Board is set to review the Housing Supply Plan materials that include a proposed FY25 Housing Supply Program budget request for $1 million from the Town of Jackson General Fund and $1 million from the Teton County General Fund. That is a straight-up $2 million local commitment on paper, and it is the kind of line item that decides whether projects and partnerships have predictable support or have to beg year to year. Watch for whether electeds treat this as baseline funding or as a target to trim; the packet frames the Housing Supply Plan as the annual five-year look-ahead tied to the community’s resident-workforce goals.
