Colorado Passes Housing Bill for Schools, Colleges

Colorado Governor Jared Polis signs the Housing Options Made Easier Act, allowing public institutions to build housing on their land, bypassing local zoning rules. The bill, effective in 2028, aims to increase affordable housing options across the state. However, it faces opposition from local government groups and Republicans who argue it undermines land-use plans and may not guarantee affordability. The law also includes provisions for transit agencies, housing authorities, and proven nonprofits, while excluding religious groups. Polis also signed a bill enabling locals to tap taxes and credits for workforce housing. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
