This policy will open up more housing opportunities in the heart of our communities and lower housing costs for hardworking Coloradans. Why this matters: 🏠 Deliver more homes in the communities that need them most. 🚧 Lengthy rezoning fights and arbitrary limits delay or kill projects. 💸 Delays drive up costs, meaning fewer affordable homes. ⏰ Colorado families are being priced out. We can’t afford to wait. What the HOME Act does: ✔️ Establish a consistent and standardized process for qualifying entities to build housing that’s affordable ✔️ Unlock centrally-located and underutilized land to ensure Coloradans can live in the communities where they work ✔️ Work hand-in-hand with other efforts to build housing near job centers, transit hubs, schools, local businesses, and where there is existing infrastructure ✔️ Allow local governments to continue to implement existing affordable housing measures that apply to similar residential developments This is a practical, pro-housing reform to help build the homes we need. 👉 Email your Senator + the Senate Local Government Committee today and urge them to vote YES on the HOME Act (HB26-1001). https://actionnetwork.org/letters/colorado-senate-pass-the-home-act
