Colorado Builds Better

It's time for a statewide solution to address Colorado's housing shortage and affordability crisis.

[Colorado Builds Better @COBuildsBetter]

We agree! CO's housing crisis "isn’t a city problem. Or a country problem. This is a Colorado problem, and our leaders should address it."

It's time to create a statewide solution to Colorado’s housing shortage and affordability crisis.

68% of Coloradans support more housing near bus stops, train stations and business & shopping districts. Creating more livable, walkable communities is an important step to address our housing crisis. #HB1313 #copolitics #coleg

[Centennial State Prosperity @CenStProsperity]

Our severe housing shortage is hurting families & communities. Orgs support #HB1152 as a common-sense proposal to increase the housing supply while supporting local govs & property owners. Tell your lawmaker to support ADUs! #coleg #copolitics

Thrilled to have Mayor Johnston join in supporting HB-1313! Focusing new development on transit corridors in walkable 15-minute neighborhoods will make our future more sustainable with lower emissions and more opportunities for folks to live near where they work.

Eliminating parking requirements helps affordable housing units pencil - especially now. Does this mean all affordable developments will not be parked? No. It means parking will be matched to demand. HB1304 helps Coloradan home affordability - pass it.

Have you called your state senator in support of transit oriented development, eliminating parking minimums, and legalizing ADUs? These bills face a tough battle in the Senate and every call helps! Find your senator @ https://t.co/QCamAse3jS and give them a call today!

Denver city leaders come out in support of HB24-1313, the transit-area density bill, a few days after the bill passes the House and reaches the more skeptical Senate:

[Conor Cahill @CHCahill]

Governor Polis just signed a new law passed by #coleg to end unfair occupancy limits in Colorado. More housing now! #copolitics

[Colorado Senate Democrats @COSenDem]

ICYMI: Senator Gonzales & @TonyExum’s bill to eliminate discriminatory, outdated occupancy limits was SIGNED into law! 🖊️📜

✅ This new law breaks down housing barriers and gives residents the freedom to choose their living situations.

New: House Bill 1313, the transit-oriented upzoning bill that would apply to Front Range cities, passes the House 37-24* (with four absences). It's off to the Senate.

[Seth Klamann (sethklamann.bsky.social) @SethKlamann]

The ADU bill, which allows ADUs to be built by right in Front Range cities, has also now cleared the House.

[Matt Frommer @MattFrommer]

A bill to legalize ADUs in Colorado is on the House Floor, so I'm reupping this excellent thread from @kellyblynn on specifics of the bill and the rationale behind the policy decisions:

[COHouseDems @COHouseDem]

Legislation to save people money on housing by creating more housing options in transit oriented communities just passed the House!

[Kelly Blynn @kellyblynn]

And it passes the house floor! Onto the senate 🙌

[Colorado Senate Democrats @COSenDem]

ICYMI: @SenadoraJulie & @NickForCO's bill to protect renters from eviction passed the Senate ✅

This will help ease our housing crisis and prevent people from being displaced.
