City launches study to explore housing options and opportunity in Centennial
t may not be surprising that housing affordability and availability are an issue in our state, but the extent of the issue, and the far-reaching impacts and mitigation steps are lesser known. To gain clarity in these areas, the City is conducting a housing study this year. Residents are encouraged to get involved and provide input on this important topic.
Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko is available to meet virtually and in-person with residents and business owners.

Residents are encouraged to visit centennialco.gov/housing to learn more about the study, view future meeting dates, share comments and subscribe to receive further updates and communication from the City throughout the study process.
