OUR MISSION
The mission of the Larimer Consensus Group (LCG) is to network and form partnerships to create and implement a planned sustainable Larimer Community that focuses on affordable housing, economical development, environmental, social and public safety issues.
OUR PURPOSE
Provide opportunities for quality housing, promote self-sufficiency of the residents, to improve recreational and human service opportunities, maximize employment and training opportunities and, develop programming specific to the needs of the Larimer community in adherence to the Larimer Vision to action plan.
OUR CHARGE
The Larimer Consensus Group is charged with being the steward of the Larimer Community and its Community Plan.
While focusing on its mission, there are a number of other elements that are also imperative. The LCG is expected to be the vehicle that "Leads by Example," incorporating moral judgement and accountability as a major part of the equation.
Our directive also includes being responsible for writing and implementing policy that moves us towards improving the quality of life of Larimer residents and fulfilling community goals. Included within this obligation is identifying resources that look toward the future and embrace generational wealth, home equity, improvement of current housing stock, building new, both affordable and market rate housing, and envisioning a new commercial corridor.
CHOICE
June 30, 2014 it was announced that Larimer is the recipient of one of four $30 million Choice Neighborhoods Implementation grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The announcement was made at the Kingsley Association with Larimer Consensus Group members, local politicians and other partners in attendance to receive the good news. The grant will help construct housing that helps advance the Larimer Vision Plan, the neighborhood’s plan for a green sustainable future. Read more about the Larimer Vision Plan here. Sign up for the Larimer Consensus Group newsletter and come to monthly neighborhood meetings to stay informed about activities in Larimer.
The LCG’s goal is to create multi-generational equity wealth.
