PRESS CONFERENCE FEB. 27th

Flaws in current state law have essentially brought the construction of new owner-occupied, multi-family housing such as condos to a halt. The starter-home desert, combined with skyrocketing rental rates that have 40 percent of working Colorado renters spending more than a third of their income on rent, presents a bleak outlook for young professionals, seniors, and everyone from teachers to firefighters who are struggling to find an affordable place to live in the community where they work.

SB 156 would fix problems in the current law by providing a common sense and balanced solution that protects consumers from faulty construction while also increasing diverse and more affordable options for home ownership.

The Colorado State Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee is hearing SB 156 on Monday Feb. 27th. Please join us for a PRESS CONFERENCE ON THE EAST STEPS OF THE STATE CAPITOL on MONDAY FEBRUARY 27TH AT 12 PM in support of the bill. PLEASE  RSVP your attendance to Cassie Prestfeldt cassie@hbacolorado.com or (303) 691-2242.
