Housing is the backbone of every community. Housing has direct and indirect links to all aspects of community and economic development and serves as the foundation for a high quality of life. The Moab Area needs an adequate and accessible supply of housing for residents and employees in order to sustain its reputation as a world-class destination and a great community in which individuals and families can live, work, and play. To that end, this housing plan shall guide future policy-making, budgeting, and programmatic development at various levels of local government.
