Housing Fund

Our Housing Fund supports affordable housing in Summit County and is a community voice for equitable access to housing.

Housing Builds Community. Community Means Belonging.

Park City and Summit County, Utah, are experiencing a housing crisis.

The cost of living in Summit County is almost 35% higher than the national average. In Park City alone, the average home costs over $2 million.
The area median income (AMI) for a family of four is $153,000, but this number is misleading because workforce wages are much lower.
Park City and Summit County's average earnings per job are $4,000 lower than the state of Utah's, which is already $10,000 less than the national average of $74,153.
Over 70% of Park City's homes are vacant and/or second homes. Less than 20% of homes are owner occupied.
Park City is the only city in Utah where workers (11,000) outnumber the population (8,500).
Over 85% of Park City's workforce commutes to work in town.
