Steamboat For All, a recently formed local nonprofit, made a formal public introduction to elected officials earlier this week, establishing the organization as a place-based effort that works behind-the-scenes with entities throughout the Yampa Valley to make housing and childcare more financially feasible for the local workforce.

Loryn Duke, hired as the organization’s first executive director in January, presented to the Steamboat Springs City Council at its Tuesday regular meeting, explaining that the nonprofit aims to combat the local affordability crisis through narrative storytelling and capacity-building.
