The City of Thornton (hereafter, “Thornton” or “the City”) is seeking the services of a qualified

“Strategy”) and furnish an Implementation Toolkit (collectively, the “Project”).

The Strategy will assess current housing and homelessness conditions, evaluate existing City

improve access to and administration of housing financing, leverage public and private funding

opportunities, enhance regional partnerships, promote organizational effectiveness, and

initiatives, attract investment, and pursue future funding opportunities.
