The Solution…

SB23-213

Allow communities to build more types of homes, like duplexes and townhomes, that fit the needs and budgets of more people while maintaining oversight at the municipal level

Flexibility and guidance to build communities around transit hubs and town centers
Streamlines housing affordability and equity standards by removing restrictions on modular and prefabricated building materials, barriers to renting based on familial status, and effectively utilizing space to build more homes for more Coloradans
Requires a first-of-its-kind statewide housing plan to determine housing needs and goals so that Colorado can provide homes for every budget
Statewide housing affordability and anti-displacement standards for every community tailored to the needs of local residents
Colorado will finally have an informed, actionable plan to tackle the housing shortage and affordability crisis

A statewide plan to build homes that people need that are affordable at all income levels.
Our workforce that drives our economy, like teachers, firefighters, grocery clerks, and childcare providers, will have more opportunities to live in the communities they serve.
Efficient development and compact housing design will help conserve valuable resources like water and beautiful open space.
Building housing of all types and sizes can increase access to renting or buying a home, especially in areas with good jobs, thriving communities, and quality schools.
Compact development costs less to provide public infrastructure and services and produces more revenue per acre than low-density development.
Smart development can reduce commuting and make the air our families breathe clean and safe.
Too many people are at risk of losing their homes due to wildfires and flooding. Building better will help Colorado plan communities resilient to natural disasters.
Colorado will have a plan to grow that is strategic to the needs of residents, jobs, the environment, and infrastructure.
