Colorado Needs Better Data About Evictions
from The West Steps
National research shows that families with children are more likely to experience an eviction – and that evictions can be extremely disruptive for kids’ education, health, and overall well-being. But data about what is happening across Colorado is inconsistent and hard to access. The Colorado Children’s Campaign and Enterprise Community Partners join us to talk about a new bill that would improve our state’s eviction data collection – an important step toward creating policies to prevent unnecessary evictions. You can contact Sarah Barnes, Senior Director of Policy at the Colorado Children’s Campaign, at [email protected] and Kinsey Hasstedt, Senior Program Director for State and Local Policy at Enterprise Community Partners, at [email protected] to learn more about this bill.
