Thanks to Governor Polis and the Colorado Legislature

We are pleased to announce that, as of 2024, most of our policy platform is now law in Colorado! CHAP thanks all of its organizational and individual supporters and partners for their efforts in securing a more affordable future for Colorado.

OUR PLATFORM

Tackling all of the problems that contribute to Colorado’s high housing costs is a big task. CHAP’s initial area of focus is: removing zoning barriers to the development of affordable forms of housing.

THE ISSUES

Colorado’s economy continues to grow, yet housing construction has not kept up. This hurts all of us, particularly lower- to middle-income workers.

THE RESEARCH

Research shows that unaffordable housing slows economic growth, changes the makeup of our neighborhoods, and hurts the environment by promoting sprawl and traffic. Building housing in the right places in our communities is a win-win for our families, our communities, and our economy.
