2026 Affordable Housing Incentive Program applications to open
Developers interested in being considered for the incentive in 2026 must submit their LOR between June 1 and July 1. The incentive provides that the city will pay on behalf of affordable housing projects, development impact fees like transportation or police, and plant investment fees for city water and sewer services. Designed to lower financial barriers, the city hopes that the incentives will make it more feasible for developers to create affordable housing units for lower-income residents.
'This program is one way the City is actively partnering with the development community to bring more affordable housing units to Grand Junction,' said Community Development Director Tamra Allen.
Developers who plan to submit a LOR are encouraged to schedule a pre-submittal meeting with the City's Housing Division for feedback on their application and to ensure they have all of the submission requirements.
Projects must ensure long-term affordability, like terms enforced through deed restrictions or land use covenants, to receive the incentive.
In 2025, the city approved $200,578 in general funds to support the incentive program. The program assisted Habitat for Humanity Housing Resources of Western Colorado in constructing up to 18 affordable units.
'The Affordable Housing Incentive was designed as a result of the City's adopted Housing Strategy and is one of the many commitments by the City to meaningfully advance the delivery of much needed affordable units to the community,' stated Allen.
Individuals can learn more information on the Affordable Housing Incentive Program or other housing initiatives at the city's website at gjcity.org or by emailing housing@gjcity.org.

Trump says there likely won't be a trade deal with ‘spoiled' Japan
President Trump says Japan, which he characterized as 'spoiled,' will likely not make a deal with the United States on a tariff rate ahead of the looming deadline next week. 'We dealt with Japan. I'm not sure if we're going to make a deal. I doubt it with Japan — they're very tough. You have to understand, they're spoiled. I love Japan. I really like the new prime minister, too. Abe was one of my closest friends, as you know,' he said on Tuesday, referring to former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe who died in 2022. The president hosted the current Japanese prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, at the White House in February. Trump noted this week that Japan has a rice crisis that has elevated prices, arguing the country should turn to the U.S. for rice. 'But they and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years that it's really hard for them to make a deal. You know, it's very hard. As an example with Japan, they won't take rice, and yet they desperately need rice,' he said. 'They won't take any cars, but they'll sell millions. So, we told them, 'Sorry you can't do that.'' The president said Japan will likely get a letter that would set the tariff rate ahead of the July 8 expiration of the 90-day pause on country-specific tariffs. Trump has said he will send letters soon to trading partners who haven't struck deals. 'So what I'm going to do is I'll write them a letter, say, 'We thank you very much. We know you can't do the kind of things that we need, and therefore you'll pay a 30 percent, 35 percent or whatever the numbers that we determine,'' he said. 'Because we also have a very big trade deficit with Japan, as you know and it's very unfair to the American people.' Trump on Monday also suggested Japan would not get a trade deal with the U.S., sharing on Truth Social, 'To show people how spoiled Countries have become with respect to the United States of America, and I have great respect for Japan, they won't take our RICE, and yet they have a massive rice shortage.' Officials, though, have insisted for months that talks are progressing with trading partners, including with Japan, as well as with India and Vietnam. The administration has been working on trade deals during the 90-day tariff pause, but only agreements with China and the United Kingdom have been announced, despite the self-imposed ambitious goal of 90 deals in 90 days.

Letters to the Editor: Now that the GOP megabill has passed the Senate, who in the House will save us?
To the editor: Well, three of the 'Fantastic Four' U.S. senators working to defeat the Republicans' big, bad bill had America's back: Ms. Fantastic (Sen. Susan Collins of Maine), Human Torch (Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky) and The Thing (Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina). But Invisible Woman — Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) — was nowhere to be seen ('By a single vote, Trump's megabill passes the Senate,' July 1). So who will be Team America's superheros in the House of Representatives to save the U.S. from the (already) crushing national debt, loss of (already subpar) healthcare, disappeared food assistance, devastated state budgets, decimated education funding, declining bond ratings, more dirty energy and climate pollution and the fascistic pursuit, disappearing, jailing and deportations of projected millions of people we live among (including one of the nicest, most helpful and hardest working persons I've ever known, who has already self-deported)? Nothing to celebrate this Farce of July as America enters the 250th year of its, for now, declining existence. Gregory Wright, Sherman Oaks .. To the editor: Well, here we are on the precipice of President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill.' An estimated 11.8 million people could lose healthcare with the cuts to Medicaid. For what, you ask? Lowering the federal deficit? Nope. To the contrary, to raise the deficit $3 trillion over the next decade. For what, you ask? Helping working-class Americans? Nope. The tax cuts disproportionately benefit high-earning American households, with the corporate tax cuts particularly benefiting the richest of the rich. The truth be told, from Day 1, Trump has done by and large the exact opposite of what he said he'd do for the working class. Marty Foster, Ventura
