Lodging to Affordable Living 🏡: Motel Conversions in the Four Corners Region

The following working list identifies those motels and hotels that have been converted into dwellings for the unhoused, those with special needs, and/or to provide affordable housing options in cities across the Four Corners Region of the southwestern United States (the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). These housing options may include, but not be limited to:

• Income-based housing;
• Section 8 housing;
• Housing for those with special needs
• Housing for needy seniors;
• Housing for young adults and/or women;
• Housing for those returning to society from recovery programs or incarceration;
• Inexpensive housing/studios for artists;
• Veterans housing; as well as
• Transitional/interim housing for unhoused individuals or families.

Motel conversions provide another tool for municipalities for combating homelessness, gentrification, and rising housing costs. It also helps revitalize and reinvigorate older highway commercial districts such as Historic U.S. 66 in New Mexico and Arizona or Old U.S. 40 in Colorado. In some cases, such a conversion from lodging to affordable living quarters may require amendments to local zoning codes to allow such housing options in commercial zoning districts.

Peace!
