Wyoming should be a place where the people who work here can afford to live here.
We’re building the grassroots movement to build more homes
for the Wyomingites who need them.
34 permanently affordable homes. Powered by Laramie neighbors.
On May 15, Laramie took a major step toward 34 permanently affordable homes when the Albany County School Board voted to sell the former school property to the City of Laramie for a community housing solution led by the Albany County Housing & Land Trust.
Wyoming Neighbors for Housing was proud to help organize the neighbors who showed up, spoke out, and made clear that Laramie needs more homes working people can actually afford. This happened because residents stepped up to the plate. They wrote, testified, attended meetings, and asked local leaders to make a long-term investment in the community.
We are deeply grateful to the Albany County Housing & Land Trust for leading this work with care and persistence. Projects like this take technical skill, public trust, and steady partnership. ACHLT has helped give Laramie a practical path toward homes that remain affordable over time.
We also thank the Albany County School Board and the City of Laramie for taking this step. This decision recognizes something simple and important: housing affects schools, employers, families, and the future of the whole community.
Thirty-four homes will not solve Laramie’s housing challenges by themselves. But they matter. They show what becomes possible when neighbors organize, show up, and speak out!
We organize, educate, and advocate for practical, Wyoming-based, housing solutions.
In Wyoming, rising housing costs put pressure on families, local workers, and small communities alike. When there are too few homes that fit local needs and budgets, people are forced elsewhere, communities lose the people they rely on, and local economies feel the strain.
Wyoming’s housing shortage comes from policy choices, and we can solve them. Communities across the state can protect what makes Wyoming strong by offering a wider range of housing options that fit existing neighborhoods and help neighbors remain close to their work, schools, and one another.
