A home you can afford
Everyone in Colorado should be able to live in a safe, stable home they can afford — in the communities where they want to live and raise their children.
Housing is fundamental to what it means to build a life in Colorado. When families can afford to stay in their homes and communities, everything else becomes more possible.
Every Coloradan should be able to live in a home that:
Is affordable and costs no more than 30% of a family’s income
Is accessible to where they want to work, raise children, and build their lives
Supports stability by creating a foundation for long-term security and family wealth
What We’re Building On
Colorado has already taken meaningful steps to address housing challenges.
Across the state, there is growing commitment to:
• Invest in housing solutions that help families find and keep affordable homes
• Expand opportunities to build housing in more communities
• Create pathways that support renters and homeowners alike
We’ve accomplished a lot together. These accomplishments are worth protecting and strengthening.
What’s Next
To meet the needs of Colorado families, we need to build on this progress.
That means:
• Expanding access to homes people can afford, whether renting or buying
• Increasing and sustaining funding for housing solutions
• Making it easier to build housing by reducing unnecessary barriers and delays
• Ensuring public investments work — delivering real, measurable results for families
This work requires a balanced approach — one that brings people together and reflects the full range of housing needs across Colorado.
